Full day today. You took a quiz over parallel structure and did pretty well overall. You had to think fast and you demonstrated a decent understanding of the concept.
Next on the agenda is finding an example of parallel structure in your everyday world. As we discussed in class today I want you to locate an example of parallel structure in a book you are reading, the newspaper, a magazine, etc. Type it up, identify the source and then explain why it is parallel structure in a couple of sentences. Type it all up and turn it in to me anytime before next Wednesday, January 29. Ten points riding on this one.
We talked a bit more about "Gil's Used Furniture" (Cisneros 450) focusing on characters, summary and theme. We have discussed the story thoroughly and now for tonight's homework I need you to send me an email. My address is <pomalley@phm.k12.in.us>. In the email you should identify the theme of the story and offer an explanation--supported by the text--that explains why it is the theme. Send it to me by midnight tonight. Five points for completing this successfully.
We'll be looking at a poem tomorrow that shares a theme with "Gil's..." We will talk about Lemon Brown's treasure and see if it has a theme too. We'll also look at anaphora and parallel structure a bit more closely.
See you soon.
