GOOD MORNING!
A refresher on title formatting: BIG items (books, plays, movies, etc.) get italicized. SMALLER items (chapters, short stories, poems, songs, etc.) get "quotes." And formatting is never mixed, so don't use both just because you forget which is which.
This week we'll be starting our next novel: Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities.
Here's your work for the week:
Here's your work for the week:
1. Frontier vocab (5 new words)
2. Revise your Frankenstein essay.
3. Read the Victorian Age introduction on p.485-489. Write a synopsis (a couple of sentences is fine) for each of these: Realism, Naturalism, the Victorian novel, historical fiction, horror, and short fiction.
4. Read ATTC, Book the First. ATTC is divided up into three books, each with its own set of chapters. "Book the First" makes up the first six chapters of ATTC. "Book the Second" and "Book the Third" make up the rest, and each "book" starts the chapter numbering over. That can be a little confusing at first.
The complaint I hear most often about this book is that it starts slowly. I tend to agree. If you find that to be true, just be patient. Once it gets going, it really gets going. The first time I read it I quit after the first few chapters. And I was an English teacher! Then I heard a story about a 7th grade girl who would jump off the bus in the afternoon and run home to read ATTC. So I thought, if she liked it that much I must have missed something, so I tried it again, and she was right. I loved it. But I had to get over that early hump before it picked up.
5. Chapter summaries: Write out 4 key events or ideas from each chapter from "Book the First". Label it clearly.
