It's time for TIPP. Okay, it's time for TIPP to be handed in. Can't wait to read about all these influential people. Be sure you have your typed final copy, your works cited, and any drafts you've written all stapled together. No printing during class so come in early or during lunch to get it finished before class begins.
You complete one assignment, so it's time for another one. This one will be on the lighter side. It deals with irony. I'll fill you in on it tomorrow.
The fiction unit can officially start tomorrow as well. I have several stories lined up, and we'll jump right in on one tomorrow. You will also be going to the IMC on Wednesday to select a book. But it isn't just any book. Yes, it has to be fictional (sorry all you nonfiction lovers), but there is more to it. I'll fill you in on that soon as well.
Some things we will be looking at during the next few weeks include:
-how authors build themes into their stories
-how similar themes appear in extremely different works
-how to identify themes
-the relevance of the stories of the Bible and Greek mythology today
-the power of good characterizations
-the importance of well written dialogue
-point-of-view
and of course
-irony in stories
Get ready to read! A lot!
See you soon.
