Honors 9- Today I handed back vocab quizzes and your first narratives. I also assigned Narrative assignment number 2. Here are the directions if you were not here or lost the sheet:

Narrative Assignment #2

The goal of the second part of this project is to look at how manipulating point of view and perspective can significantly change a story.  For the next steps in this narrative process, you are going to re-write your narrative, changing the perspective--possibly even the point of view.  By Wednesday, you will need a draft of your narrative #2 in which the perspective has changed. We will then complete peer revisions.  A clean, final copy will be due Monday October 6^th. This entire process is going to count as a summative assessment grade.  Your final copy will need to be a minimum of two pages, completed in type 3 format with the following FCA’s:

1. Clear point of view demonstrating a change in perspective from Narrative one to Narrative two

2. Proper capitalization

3. (You create your own here) Decide something that you want to focus on. If you are having trouble I can provide suggestions.

Finally, you must include this sheet filled out with your final draft:

1. What was the original point of view and perspective of Narrative #1?

2. How did you change the perspective of your story? What impact did it have? What did you consider when you switched perspectives?

English 10- Today I handed out permission slips for the field trip to Denver Center for the Performing Arts in which we will see the live theatrical version of Lord of the Flies. This will be a really fun trip! Make sure you have all aspects of the permission slips filled out and returned with your $8 payment no later that October 12. I cannot accept any late permission slips or payments. If you are struggling with this let me know ASAP.

In addition to this we looked at specific quotes from chapters 3, 4, and 5 and analyzed their importance. We took notes to support our future reading and writing. Please be done with chapter 5 questions by tomorrow.
