Block E (2-1) English 8
We discussed the nine parts of a myth - Title, Type, Problem, Exposition, Trigger ("Little Incident") Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution.
KNOW THESE (AND HOW TO IDENTIFY THEM) FOR THE UNIT QUIZ
We read the Australian myth, "How the Flowers Ran Away", and identified the nine parts as a class. You practiced identifying the nine parts with the myth you brought from home (or "Jack and the Beanstalk"). You were given the Graphic Organizer for Writing Myths. This is to help you organize your own original myth. You may use traditional characters from mythology or create wholly new and/or contemporary deities or heroes.
FOR NEXT DAY:
1) Comment and identify yourself and your block on this post
2) Have your nine parts' identification complete
3) Complete your organizer
MAJOR ASSIGNMENT:
Your final draft of your original myth is due Monday, September 28, 2009
Remember: there are no Block E (2-1) classes next week because of Grade Eight Retreat
Block F (2-2) English 8

Block H (2-4) English 11
We began the enormously satisfying task of paraphrasing T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men". I collected your first attempts with Section I, we went through my paraphrase process with Section I, and then y'all did a bang up job with Section II
FOR NEXT DAY, finish paraphrasing sections III and IV.
