Welcome to our classroom web log! This space is designated for you to compose your thoughts, feelings, responses and questions to various subjects throughout the year. Further, it is a place for you to comment on and respond to your peers. Think of it as an interactive journal.
We need a proper title for our class blog, so if you want to astonish me with your cerebral prowess there will be extra credit for such efforts. To help you along, the class focuses on American literature in the 20th Century. This includes the Modernists, the Imagists, the Harlem Renaissance, the Beat Generation and the Sixties social, cultural and sexual revolutions. Remember to keep your suggestions school appropriate!
The first task is to read Kate Chopin’s “The Story of An Hour.” It is an incredibly short story (exactly 1009 words) about a young woman’s response to the news of her husband’s death. Knowing what you do of plot structure, character development and figurative language, choose five phrases in the story that you find particularly significant. Then briefly analyze the importance of each phrase. Please write in complete sentences and remember to back your arguments with evidence from the text.
Please be honest, open and have fun with this space!!!
Later, we will attempt to upload pictures and images and, perhaps, create our own group podcasts!
But right now, get to work on your first story!
