Have a great weekend!

Blog Post Topic - March 19th

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekends.

Here is the Blog Topic from March 19th's class:

 

Select two topics from your Quotation Organization Sheets. Turn the topics into theme statements (a sentence that you can form an argument around). Using quotations from your sheets, discuss your theme statement and use the quotations to prove that your statement is true. For example: Love vs. Lust = Romeo lusted after Juliet he did not love her. You would then tell me how that statement is true using quotations you have collected over the course of the semester.

 

See you next week!

Essay questions for The Help

2. What makes Skeeter different than all the other female charactersin the novel?

3. Do you believe that the underlying racial tones in the story are still relevant to what goes on in today's    society?

ENG 2D1-class with the books

Write one essay question for each section of SCALI for THe Help. Finish reading the book and remember to bring it back next class.

Descriptive Paragraph

Find a picture that is of a landscape (ie. has no people or animals in it).

Write a descriptive paragraph about the picture as if no one will ever see the picture and you need to make it come alive in someone's mind.

You need to use adjectives/adverbs that address each of the five senses. (Taste, Touch, Sight, Smell, Sound) Ex. the salty ocean, the whistling wind.

You also need three similes (a comparison using like or as) and four metaphors (a comparison without using like or as). You may combine the different elements in the same sentence.

Ex.the sun's silver fox tongue licked the ocean like a bowl of water.

When you are finished your paragraph, type it up and double space it. Then take three different colour highlighters. Use one colour to highlight your sensory words, another colour to highlight your metaphors and another colour to highlight similes.

Hand in the paragraph and the picture.

DUE: Next class.

Also, if you are in the class that has the books to take home, you are to read at least four chapter of The Help a night to stay on track of finishing the book in one week.

Happy New Year!
