Gathering Evidence

While you are reading, make your way to the blog! You'll need it!


Today's Goal: We want to find evidence of irony, mood, and theme in Cask of Amontillado. This will help you later!
  1. You will complete your work today with a partner (the person sitting next to you.)
  2. Together you will find evidence (quotes) in Cask of Amontillado that show irony, mood, and theme. 
  3. Use THIS FORM to collect your evidence. 
  4. You must explain WHY that quote is a good evidence for the way Poe uses irony, mood or theme. 
  5. Write in complete sentences. (Do not start with "Because...")
  6. Submit ONE form with both of your names on it. 

If you have your orange book, you may use that. 
Click this link to go to a digital version (Since you are working in partners, one of you should have the form open, and the other could have the story open.)

I am also sending a letter home with you. Please share it with your parents and guardians.

Introductions

As you all know, Mrs. Baker is going to be out for the rest of the year. She may pop in here and there to visit, but I am very excited to be spending this time with you!

Soon I will be sending a letter home with you to tell you and your families a little more about myself, but for now we're going to focus on what's happening inside of class, and what the next few days are going to look like.




A few things you'll need to know about this week:
  • The end of the grading period is Friday. If you have any work you need to make up, you'll need to get that in by the end of the week.
  • You just turned in book reviews. If you've got any books of Mrs. Baker's, please make sure you bring them in! Other people would like to read them!

I will be updating this blog every single day. This means that the first thing you'll need to do when you turn your computers on is to navigate to this website and see what's happening. 

You'll be responsible for completing work listed on the blog if you are absent.
