Class 14

Students continued to study the Tell Tale Heart and we worked together to identify the 7 narrative elements of the piece. Students were then instructed on the literary device "imagery" and were shown examples of how it was characteristic of Poe's work. Afterward we worked together on writing good thesis statements and topic sentences and worked together to practice this skill using various exercises.  This will help them for their future informative essay.

Class 13

Students began their third unit of study today: an examination of literary devices in classic and contemporary English language literature.  Students were introduced to the seven elements of a narrative and their ability to identify these elements in written works will be a major component of their unit 3 take home test.  Students then learned about the history and characteric writing of Edgar A. Poe and read his short story, "The Tell-Tale Heart." Students ordered the events of the story chronologically and watched a brief movie about the piece before answering reflection questions on the piece.
