Week in Preview — September 21

Hello Everyone,

     This week should finally be cool and comfortable upstairs; we will have a high of 75 at most all week, if you believe the weather man. So far as schoolwork is concerned, in Language Arts we will go into a little more detail about conflict, point of view, irony, and characterization, and then start in on the book project itself.

1. On Monday, students will analyze an interpersonal conflict between characters in their stories, and explain how their points of view impact said conflict.
2. On Tuesday, students will differentiate between different types of irony in a story. They are provided with "Mammon and the Archer" by O. Henry as an example of a story that contains all three types of irony.
3. On Wednesday, students will address all three types of conflict again, this time in more detail, as relates to "Mammon and the Archer."
4. On Thursday, students will review their answers, officially declare their project book, and begin connecting it to the ten Elements of Literature.
5. On Friday, students will write a Week in Review and continue their Elements of Literature book project.

     Remember that Chess Club is after school on Wednesdays, and Yearbook will meet again on Tuesday and Thursday of next week (September 29 and October 1).

Sincerely,

Mr. DeMaris
