EXTENSION UNTIL OCT.11. Review and due dates from Oct. 2 class

Hello 12s,

Today we:

• Signed out books/duotangs
• Read  the ESSAY  A Girl’s Story by Arnason
• We discussed notions like:
• What might Arnason’s purpose/thesis be?
• What is the form and how does it influence the reading?
• What diction/s is/are used? Why? What is the tone?
• Who might the tone/diction  influence the audience’s mood reception of the text?

Due to the fact that I am ill and will, in all likelihood, be away your assignment is now due Oct.11

 A Girls’ Story questions: (Due Tuesday Oct. 9th) 

These ought to be written in TAG and PEE format. You may just TAG 2 but PEE and support with quotes or references to the text for each.

1. Provide 1 example of cliche' or stereotyping 2 of the following: character, setting and plot. (2 examples) (TAG/evidence)

2. Describe the speaker's tone. Provide 3 descriptors/vocabulary words describing the speaker’s tone, and an example/quote for each. (TAG/evidence)

3. Provide 3 traits that describe the speaker and an example of each. (single word traits only please; avoid “he is someone who doesn’t”. . . INSTEAD say “He is reluctant which is demonstrated when he”…(quote/evidence)

4. Is the speaker the author? Discuss. (personal view and evidence)
