As we discussed with our expository essay, when we annotate we need to know what to look for in a specific class or specific type of writing. In math, look for the formulas. In history, look for names and dates, cause and effect. In English, our authors use literary tools or devices to get their point across. We have talked about several: symbolism, archetype, motif, juxtaposition, allegory and so on. If you don't know what's out there- it not only makes annotating and essay writing hard, it can make reading harder than it should be. Here is the list we will focus on this year. There will be time in class to go over terms with a group. Please get a good definition and discuss examples. (If you want to use or print it: there is a dictionary button below. There is extra space after each definition for an example or notes. Dictionaries will be available in class. You may take notes on your own paper.) THEN- don't forget to STUDY at home. :) Everyone will take the test 2 times. Hopefully, you get a 100% each time. If not, this is your chance to better your score. Each test 100 pts.
Time frame:
Class time- 1/7-8
Unannounced partner quiz (LOL): sometime January 19-29
Test #1: 2/3-4
Test #2: 2/17-18
