10.31 - Roots Unit Test, Dystopias, and Anthem

We started today's class with the unit test for roots and prefixes sets 1 through 5. Following this, we discussed the work that people had done for the last two classes while I was out. In this discussion we reviewed what work was due so far, which revisions were due, and what people should be working on now. We also talked about the various ways in which people could approach the dystopian fiction writing assignment and what the specific requirements of the assignment are.

In the remaining portion of the class we returned to our exploration of figurative language used in Anthem and how that conveys tone and meaning. We will wrap this discussion up on Monday.

Handouts:
Dystopian writing assignment
Anthem double entry journals

Homework:

Read chapter 12 completing two (2) reading logs.

Work on the rough draft of your dystopian fiction writing (due Wednesday).
