Ms. Weng's post for Friday

AP
-ICB vocab assign #1 distributed

-On Monday: annotations for pp. 1-74 and multi-seasonal assignment due; quote quiz on pages 1-74.

-Class Discussion on first part of ICB

For make-up, students may turn in a hand-written response page to the following two questions:

1) Though In Cold Blood claims to be non-fiction, "a true account of multiple murders," the book also has the feel of novel (a fictional work). Do you think the book fits in one genre more than the other? Or, is it an even balance of both? How so? 

2)We've discussed the thorough/exhaustive inclusion of details in In Cold Blood. What is a possible reason Capote includes all these details? What is an effect of so many details?

For both of your answers, be sure to support your claim with textual evidence/a specific example from the text. Include page number(s). 

ENGL III
Students had the opportunity to work on written assignments in their journal and/or to continue reading. We also listened to an NPR story ("Out of Tragedy, an Unexpected Connection is Made") that ties in with the novel's themes of grief and forgiveness. We will review the story and continue this discussion on Monday.


Please be at p. 179 by Monday if you are not already there!
