Standard 01-23-2013

Nice job with your examples of verbal, situational, and dramatic irony today.  Now, if you only knew what they were because of the people in your group, then you better spend a little bit of time looking over the definitions and the examples.  You will be quizzed over these three ideas in the near future.  I want you to be able to share original specific examples of all three.  Start prepping now.

The Found Poems we looked at today were pretty solid.  Thanks Tyler Davis, Jasmine Leininger, et al. They will get some minor tweaks tonight and be submitted tomorrow.  Make sure you do what you can to your Found Poem so that it
         
            *makes sense
            *is creatively displayed
            *is neatly presented

You received the WDIWTLMA paper today.  We went over the general expectations and now you should be spending some time going over possible topics in your heads.  Ask your parents/guardians/siblings for ideas.  Allow them to help you narrow the topic so that it is focused and researchable.  We'll spend a bit more time Friday (since we ran out of time today) brainstorming some possible topics, but we have lab B reserved for us for Friday so I don't want to waste much valuable research time.

I won't be there tomorrow, as I mentioned in class today.  You'll be viewing a video of Oprah Winfrey touring the grounds of Auschwitz with Elie Wiesel.  I have a few questions I'll be wanting you to respond to as well.  It's not a happy video, but it will be memorable.

I probably won't see you tomorrow, but I'll be looking for those Found Poems and will see you all on Friday.
