Sept 21, 2020

 Hello everyone! Here's the plan for the week:

  • Tasks for today: Check in on Teams, answer a discussion question, listen to "the last great american dynasty," and complete a freewrite.
  • Checking in - take a moment to pop into the "Checking in" channel, and let us know how you're doing today!
  • Reminder of the weekly schedule, and that I can be found in room 209 for the next two weeks (email me to arrange a time to meet if you'd like, before/after your other class).
  • Assignments for the next two weeks: Assignment 2, Assignment 3, and Assignment 4
  • Discussion question for today: How do you feel about music? Head over to the "discussion" channel and post your thoughts.
  • Tomorrow's lesson
    • "the last great american dynasty" (video is here, lyrics are here)
      • Apologies for the swear word in the song - because it's in reference to a historical group of people, I thought it was acceptable. Still, I included a version in which it is censored. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have concerns about the use of language in any text.
    • Literary terms:
      • Metaphor
      • Simile
      • Symbolism
    • Instructions for Assignment 2 - Quote integration
  • Wednesday's lesson
    • "The Raven Steals the Light" (story here)
    • Literary terms:
      • Myth (new term)
      • Setting
      • Atmosphere
    • Instructions for Assignment 3 - Visual Design
  • Thursday's lesson
    • Checking in on Assignments 2, 3 and 4
    • Starting to plan for Project 1
    • Assignment 2 due by end of day
  • No lesson on Friday - it's a Pro D Day!
  • Freewrite prompt for today (put a timer on for ten minutes, and write as much as you can. You can write a story, a paragraph, a poem, or it can be just stream of consciousness):
    • A child flying a kite
