Honors and Standard 1-21-2014

Unexpected events at Purdue dramatically altered my evening plans so this will be quick.

Honors students should be working on TIPP.  Strengthen what you brought in today and keep sharpening it for the rough draft due date on Friday.  Bring in what you have completed tomorrow for some circle and share and discussion time.   Final copy will be due the beginning of next week.

Also remember to be listening for an example of verbal irony.  Type it up, write it down or just remember it but have an example of an original one in class tomorrow.

Can you:

define irony?
identify the three types of irony?
offer definitions and examples of the three types of irony?


Standard students should be completing their summaries from the short story we read in class today called "Gil's Furniture Bought and Sold" on page 450.  We will be sharing those tomorrow and identifying the theme of the story.

Which reminds me...can you define theme?  Look over your definition.

You also should be able to identify parallel structure in a sentence.  Remind yourself of the definition and then be on the lookout for new examples.

See you all soon.
