ENGLISH - 1^st trimester – Day 28

• Collect homework: 15-word, 35-word, and 100-word expansions (if you didn’t already turn it in on Friday)
• Pick up this week’s prefix handout on center table
• WARMUP: Number a paper 1 – 10 and then below that, number it again 1 – 10. Then without writing on the handouts, complete the 2 “Foreshadowing” handouts on the center table on your paper.

Foreshadowing: planting clues about what will happen later in a story

Reviewed foreshadowing quotes we found before from “The Cask of Amontillado.”

Subtext: what we imagine a person is thinking while they say something else.

Number a paper 1 – 20…choose 20 points in the story, beginning on pg. 288 and ending at “…the clamorer grew still.” (pg. 292) For each point, (a) quote the text and then (b) ADD SUBTEXT from Fortunato’s point of view. Finish for homework.
