Quick reminders for 11/2-3

English 9
Poe "Cask of Amontillado":
Find five details in the story that you think are ironic (remember to look up both "dramatic" and "situational" irony).
For each detail (find a Quote), write your quote on the left of a DE table; on the right, explain "what specifically is ironic about it."
Remember to continue to build your vocabulary list, with at least 30 words on your list by next class.
ALSO, for REDOS: make sure to include extremely clear objectives that show that you know exactly what you're fixing; also highlight (either on your printer, or simply with a highlighter afte you print) exactly what you revised so that I see where and how you made changes. Finally, keep in mind that if you're revising a sentence that I already "repaired" when I corrected your last draft, you must come up with your own, new version; I'm grading your work, not mine!

English 10
"Funeral Speech of Pericles":
Find 8 specific passages (1-3 sentences each) that you find interesting. Copy each into a DE table. On the right, next to each, rewrite the passage in informal, "normal" English.
Objectives:
Demonstrate the ability to isolate a complete, specific passage from a larger paragraph, identifying where a complete idea begins and ends.
Demonstrate comprehension of complex sentences and vocabulary.
