Hi class,
Today we wrote an in-class paragraph on the theme of “The Lottery” and got a chance to mark our classmate’s writing. Hopefully this exercise will help you become familiar with what I’m looking for in analysis writing and the marking rubric.
Homework:
I didn’t check homework last class, please make sure you have read and annotated “A Rose for Emily”- Mon
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the paragraphs; I will look through them in the next couple of days. We had this class to practice integrating quotations or to annotate “A Rose for Emily”.
HW:
Please finish the quotation worksheet and start your two best ones for me to mark. Please also finish annotating “A Rose for Emily”.
Hi!

Hi class,
Today we talked about the difference between a word’s denotation and its connotation.
I also did a demonstration of how I like to annotate short stories. Attached below is the annotation checklist I made in class, in case you didn’t get it. Remember, sometimes you need to read the story many many times before you notice certain things!
