JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tune: "Easy Come, Easy Go" by Bobby Sherman]
Remember that fortune you won yesterday? Easy come,
easy go. Due to a computer error, 24,999,999 other people also won.
That means your winnings total $2 (actually, more like $1.35 after
taxes). How do you react? What thoughts and feelings do you
experience? How will your plans change?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. For your HOW I READ post: consider the techniques you see in Hugo's writing, including:
- Use of the second person (for example, writing "I and "we" to remind us we're reading a story)
- Indirect characterization (helping us learn about the Bishop's character through dialogue, his actions, and the reactions of other characters)
- Setting (creating a sense of place and time by describing details of buildings, landscapes, and events involving history and people)
- Figurative language (using similes and metaphors that create images in our minds as we read)
- Foreshadowing (giving each chapter a title that teases us and invites us to figure out what it means)
- Allusion (referring to real events and figures from history -- today we saw Jesus, Telemachus, & Minerva, for example -- that the author thinks we should know in order to give the text more meaning)
PLEASE:
Make sure you're on pace to post about Chapters 8, 9, & 10, and HOW I READ by Friday.
