ENGLISH - 1st trimester – Day 23

·         Watched an Encore introduction to Poe and a “The Tell-Tale Heart” animation and film

·         Having just watched “The Tell-Tale Heart,” I want the class to think about the “eye” in the story.

o   The killer in the story didn’t actually hate the man’s eye…but rather, the eye stood for something the man hates.

o   On a separate piece of paper:

o   What the eye might represent to the killer?
 
What does the character do because of the eye?
 
o   What is the “eye” in your life…that when you see it, you have strong, negative feelings?
 
o   Next, write down:

§  5 characteristics that you like in other people and

§  5 that you dislike in other people; Rank your 5 dislikes in other people in order from 1 – 5; Write your #1 dislike on half an index card and keep it in your pocket until tomorrow; Keep track of how many times you encounter it between now and then.
§  Then 5 that you dislike in yourself

·         Reviewed tomorrow’s prefix test FORMAT (same as last prefix test)

ENGLISH homework:
Study for Friday’s fill-in-the blank Prefix test (the first 11 prefixes from “30-15-10” list) 

Keep track (on half an index card) of how many times you see your characteristic in others between now and tomorrow. 

Read opening introductory pages on Edgar Allan Poe (pgs. 276 – 285) – including “Letter to John Allan” and “Alone” and TOOK NOTES ON THESE PAGES for an open-notes test on Monday
