11/2/15

• We will not have a poem today. Instead, there will be an essay test on Italian sonnet on Friday, 11/6/15.

• Check in with your counselor in lab 127 regarding your Apply Texas application. (Most students took the majority of class with this.)

• Write at least three clarifying questions for “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Clarifying questions are questions to which you might not know the answer but realize that the answer(s) would clarify meaning in the story.

• Examine your notes on the elements of fiction in “The Yellow Wallpaper”. Which two elements are most prominent in this piece? You may use the broad categories (plot, character, figurative language…) or the specific elements (conflict, third person omniscient, simile…). On a piece of paper, write all of your insights for each of these two elements—one on the front and one on the back.

• Homework due Wed. 11/4/15:                                   
• A. Write two themes for “The Yellow Wallpaper”. Use the Theme handout to make sure what you write is an actual theme of the story.
• 
  
• B. Turn in final draft of college admission essay if you have not already received a grade (check the portal). I will not accept them after Wednesday. A zero on this assignment will reduce your six weeks grade at least ten points. You can check this list to see if you still need to turn in your final paper.
