Comp I 10th grade:  We are working on To Kill a Mockingbird today.  First, we will finish Literary Elements #2 from last week.  Then we will go on to Lit Elements #3.  Read Chapters 4 and 5 for next week.
CIS College Comp:  Finish your Narrative Essays today.  They are due tonight by midnight.  Email them to me at patricecurtiss@gmail.com   Also, read "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell. Answer questions 2 & 3 under Purpose and Audience, p. 132.  We will talk about it on Monday.
Myths & Legends:  We will look at Simile and Metaphor in the two stories we read yesterday.  There is more practice on Similes and Metaphors.  We will also do the story notes on "Gombei and the Wild Ducks" and "The Fisherman and his Wife."
Young Adult Lit:  We were a bit off schedule yesterday due to the large # of kids who were absent, but today we definitely will start our analysis of A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Note the irony and story elements as you watch it. Be ready to identify how it fits the Young Adult Lit genre.
