Pre-AP English 9
Run-on sentences started our class today. Then, we finished covering all of the literary devices that we, as English scholars, use for rhetorical analysis. Afterwards, we practiced identifying some of the sound devices that we studied by analyzing Lewis Carroll's poem, "The Jabberwocky." Finally, we had a short review of The Odyssey Part 3.
Homework: Students should study the following topics for tomorrow's test:
-- Part 3 of The Odyssey
-- Books 2 and 3 of Runemarks
-- The "sound devices" that are listed on the grammar white pages.
-- Words of the Day
