There isn't much to recap tonight - in class, we reviewed your approaches to the Kahlo piece. I am pleased with your analyses; the majority if you seemed to get the duality of the piece, looking at the women as united opposites of the same figure. Beyond that, you all had interpretations that varied, but could easily be defended by the evidence within the artwork. Excellent job, indeed.
We also reviewed what you need to do to submit your summer reading exercises. Here is what I asked for:
1. I don't need all 16 pages of the packet. Just separate and submit the following exercises:
A. Mythology chart
B. 3 Levels of Reading (Tell-Tale Heart)
C. Post-Mortem of a Protagonist (Lamb to the Slaughter
D. Quotes chart (The Lottery)
2. I also asked for proof of annotations. Make sure you take one page from each story as proof of annotations. Choose the page with the most so I can see your thought processes. Attach those four sheets to the back of the exercises.
3. The essay is not due tomorrow; it is due next Tuesday. It is due next Tuesday for EVERYONE. For those of you that have yet to see the assignment, it is posted on austinapenglish.weebly.com . Under the freshman English page, you can see an orange link to download the assignment. If you are reading this, go look at it tonight.
You guys know how to reach me. We will talk more about it tomorrow, especially if you fall in the category of those who cannot submit their reading tomorrow.
Until then, enjoy the Alexie essay. I hope there is a takeaway for you within his message. Reading can save lives, indeed.
Regards,
Ms. Bellon
