Week of April 7th - April 11th

Hello all!

We are wrapping up our biography/autobiography timeline project this week. You will have time to read in class and take notes of significant personal events and world events that shaped the character and influenced the actions of the person in your book.

Make sure to look carefully at your project sheet. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m1ZW4MXtCIjuP_QcM7BjMqgd7DGphU_57sK3ahAJU-o/edit?usp=sharing

You must follow the instructions to create the timeline. Also, remember to answer the questions on the back of the page in short response. Answer one essential question from the front of the page on a separate sheet of paper, 7-10 sentences using evidence from your book.

Staple everything in this order: Project sheet, essential question response, timeline
Submit by the end of the class on Friday, 4/11.  My goal is to have the graded assignment back to you no later than Friday, 4/25.

Connotation/Denotation
We discussed connotation and denotation on Monday. Remember, connotation is the emotional or imaginative association. Here are the notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cX1BDZQ9jOb2uO-OqUvdhQbqAA_S8tlcoRUrVqflTsk/edit?usp=sharing.

Using your notes and your prior knowledge of connotation, read the following poem and answer the questions on a separate piece of paper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R4NGOBtfzEEy-4ubSgJ5pIKbGLF695mHe46YwOs5Vco/edit?usp=sharing

This is due by Friday. Do your best.
