Students took their second quiz on Lord of the Flies today. After the quiz, we had a short lesson on Robert Frost and the ambiguity of his poetry. Since we are focusing on postmodernism, students received an extra credit opportunity to write a postmodern critique of a Robert Frost poem. Students can choose from "Mending Wall," "Birches," or "Nothing Gold Can Stay" and write a five-paragraph essay (MUST BE TYPED!) analyzing the poem from the postmodern perspective. The essay is due Monday, December 5th.
Homework: Students need to read chapters 6-8 in Lord of the Flies. The next quiz will be on Tuesday, December 6th.
AHSGE Reading Review
In an effort to prepare for next week's graduation exam, we blitzed through all of the standards in class today that the exam covers. Using O. Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi," students worked through questions that covered each content standard.
