More Notes on Character

Monday 31 August 2015 for Periods 1, 2, 5, & 6 and Tuesday 1 September 2015 for Period 7

Devotional Text:  Ecclesiastes 3:1

Quiz:  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Red-headed League"

Mr. Stone verbally reviewed the highlights of the class period's notes and showed students two additional ways to use the interactive left-hand column of their two-column notes.

Students took more notes on character:

trait
hero/heroine
villain
main character
major character
minor character

characterization
direct characterization
indirect characterization

Mr. Stone gave examples to illustrate the difference between physical and character traits.

He took a few minutes to emphasize how character analysis is as much a life skill as it is a literary skill.

Mr. Stone passed back the summer reading test for students to see their scores and review their performance.

Homework:  Read Saki's "The Interlopers" (304-310).
