Pre-AP
In today's class, we discussed methods of literary analysis including exegesis, archetype, and motif. In order to practice using these types of analysis, we examined pieces of folklore and some fairytales in order to find some classic examples of royal and scenic archetype.
Homework: Students should finish the rough draft of their research papers so that they can bring them to class tomorrow (Friday, March 2nd). As a reminder, papers are 3-4 pages long (1200-1600 words). We will spend time in class tomorrow editing the rough drafts, and students will revise these rough drafts over the weekend, so they can turn in the final draft of their paper (along with the other components of the research paper mentioned in the research packet) on Monday, March 5th.
For a copy of the research packet and other research-related materials, please see the previous blog posts from this week.
AHSGE Reading Review
We continued our discussion on the state of education in our state in today's class. Prompted by the students' insistence that the success of education is determined by a combination of personal effort and the expert knowledge of teachers, we watched Stand and Deliver and discussed how Mr. Escalante gave his students desire, which in turn caused them to want to rise to the level of expectation required of them.
