English 112 ~ Hi!  Today we had about 15-20 minutes of silent reading.  We are beginning the Edgar Allan Poe portion of our Short Fiction unit, so fittingly we discussed a time when we truly felt afraid and whether that fear was real or imagined.  No homework!   English 113 ~ Hi!  Today we read silently for about 15 minutes.  Continuing with our Short Fiction unit we discussed making inferences and how to make judgements based on prior knowledge.  Remember to "read between the lines".  Dr. Seuss, an author of children's literature, even appeals to an older audience when we read a little deeper.  For homework complete the chart for "Yertle the Turtle".

English 112 ~ Continuing with the short story "Twins" you are to write a newspaper article on the discovery of the body of Mr. Harry Coates.  Your drafts are due on Monday and final copies on Tuesday.  Have a great weekend all my "little lovelies".   English 113 ~  We continued working on the short story "After Twenty Years". As a group we revisited the story and completed a plot diagram.  Enjoy your homework-free weekend!

English 113 - Hey there, today we completed Terry and had time to work on your Beyond Limits assignment.  I had a chance to read through each of your drafts and have made some suggestions.  Your final copies are due tomorrow.   English 112 - Hey, today we discussed the answers for the short fiction Rich for One Day.  We had a quick lesson on comma splices and ways to correct them.  I have given you your first assignment "Your Rich Day" and time to get your ideas rolling.  Your final copies are due Friday, but try to have your drafts complete for tomorrow as we may have time for some peer editing.
