Weekend Homework:
* I decided not to quiz over rhetoric devices, but please do study the terms as you saw how many appeared just on that one practice AP Exam: anaphora, ellipsis, and one other one I can't think of at the moment.

We are now beginning our Short Story Unit, yah! This means that you will now begin writing your "Focus Notes" for each short story that we read. Those notes will be due at the end of the unit. A topic of focus is outlined for each short story in the assignment description sheet that I gave you yesterday.

***Please read "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathanial Hawthorne this weekend. (Sorry, I left my anthology at home, and therefore, cannot find the page number for you... it's of course in your anthology) and take notes on it, and come super prepared to discuss it on Monday!

For on your own Rhetoric Device Study, I created a Power Point of questions and answers from the "Living like Weasels" reading: Living Like Weasels

Have a great long weekend!
