For those who missed school and checked the blog and found no new info, I just wanted to let you know what we did in class: I presented on Gender yesterday, and will be continuing the same presentation today.
What your future holds:
As I have been saying since last Wednesday, you have a test Friday on "The Good Corn" and Turned." This test will be passage analysis, so it will not require you to remember specific facts just for the sake of spitting them back (although, it would be helpful to remember what happened so that you're not completely without a context while reading the passages on the exam). I would start studying by doing the following:
-Understand the difference between connotative and denotative meaning. Be able to apply your understanding.
-Understand figurative language: imagery, symbols, similies, metaphors. Be able to apply your understanding.
-Understand what "theme" is. Be able to apply your understanding.
-Reread "The Good Corn" and "Turned" (see Siena webpage or past blogs for access to those stories)
**Tomorrow I'll be posting the notes from the Prezi on the blog, along with a couple of the videos shown in class. You will be responsible for understanding some gender and feminist criticism concepts. In class review/practice will begin on Wednesday.
