Friday, October 14

Wrapped up discussion of the essay "On Laziness," paying particular attention to the questions:
  • What effect is the author trying to create through his style?
  • How does he create that effect? (Looking especially at syntax, diction, and imagery.)
  • How does that effect serve the purpose of his writing?
Briefly discussed the archaic essay by Hazlitt, "On the Want of Money," paying particular attention to difficult vocabulary and to overall tone.

Groups shared their observations from their notes on Hazlitt.
Distributed two model AP analyses of Hazlitt; groups read them together and discussed strengths they observed in the student essays.

DUE DATES
TUESDAY, October 18: Glossary of Style Elements vocabulary quiz
FRIDAY,  October 20: Final drafts of reflective essays/Common App essay due.  (Re-share with Ms. Bishop via Google Docs by midnight.)  THIS IS A CHANGE.
