| Today we're looking at repetition. Get it? Like how people who lift weights do lots of reps? |
Analyze how a particular sentence, chapter, scene, or stanza fits into the overall structure of a text and contributes to the development of the theme, setting, or plot.
The Plan:
- Read
- Copy and Paste today's ELA Journal Entry into your ELA Journal.
- Learn about the Again and Again Signpost using Shirley Jackson's "Charles"
- Finish Chapter 2 (we're at minute 24)
- Chapter 3 and 4 of Hatchet. Again and Again signpost.
Reminders/Homework:
- Read!
- Make sure your ELA Journal entries are complete. There are 5 of them now. I'm going to grade them soon.
- Due Friday, September 27, 4pm (It will be 4pm from now on)
- No Red Ink Review Skills Practice #1
- You will not have access to it unless you have completed the diagnostic, so I suggest you finish that ASAP. It was already due.
- If you complete something late and need me to take a look at it again, you do not have to email me. Instead, fill out the REVISION REQUEST form on the sidebar. It's a big green button!
What are Signposts?
"Notice and Note Signposts are clues built for readers to help them decide when it is important to stop, notice, and take note of something important happening in a story. Sometimes, it can be hard for readers to decide which parts are truly "the most important" and/or if they have the power to change the story. Learning about the six signposts will help you to determine both of these things and will help you to understand the story at a deeper level."
Today we will only talk about the "Again and Again" signpost.
Definition: when you are reading and you notice a word, phrase, object, idea, or situation that is mentioned again and again.
