Novel Study update

Hello Grade 12s:

I have collected your 2 Chapter reviews as well as your Girl's Story questions.
  •  If you have not yet submitted either of these assignments please do so prior to the weekend as I intend to see to them over the next 3 days. Thanks.

Today we discussed the distinction between a short story and a narrative essay. There is a sheet of notes associated with this discussion. (This sheet also has information re: structuring essays)

Regarding your novel study, we discussed the 'Quote of the book' - a passage you find from within the novel that you think encapsulates the theme of the novel. You will provide a short rationale for your choice to help us understand how it relates to the 'pulse' of the work. This is the next element to be submitted and it is
  •  Due: Nov.12/13. In order to do this assignment you'll need to be nearly done your novel. This gives you a sense of your reading timeline.

Soooo read read read. Luxuriate in language as you lounge over this long weekend ahead.

Enjoy!
Ms.S
