Entering the Village: November 8, 2017

Focus: What Gothic elements does The Village use, and to what purpose?

Reminder: I'm grading your Gothic journals; if you have anything you need to hand in, now is the time.

1. Setting up our close reading of The Village
  • Click HERE for the viewing guide.
  • Make a copy and save it in your Gothic lit folder.
  • This will be a big part of your Gothic unit assessment; please use the viewing guide thoughtfully and thoroughly.
2. Watching The Village with a critical eye

3. Wrapping up with your viewing guide questions on the class blog

HW:
1. Make sure your Gothic journals are shared with me; if you handwrote, take a photo and put it in Google doc in your Gothic Lit folder (you should have 4 entries, one of which has been graded).

2. There is one week left to revise/redo any assignments from the past six weeks. This includes cultural hysteria essays, missed fishbowls, ELIC journals, Gothic journals, grammar fixes, and anything else in IC that doesn't accurately reflect your learning. 

All revisions/redos/make-up work due next Friday, November 10.

Reminders:
(1) If you're revising your cultural hysteria essay, you must conference with me before Friday.
(2) If you add to a journal or any other assignment, please e-mail me.


3. Decide on your speech topic and enter it on the sign-up sheet by this Friday, Nov 10. Don't worry if it's not too specific yet; look to your index cards, and work with one of the ideas you put on top when you ranked them in terms of personal interest.

4th Hour: Click HERE to enter your topic.
