=Sub Plans Thursday 10.4.12= Essays are due next Friday. You //must// conference with me prior to handing it in. Email me over the weekend to reserve a time (first come first serve). I can meet 1st period, 6th period, after, and before school.

Sign out computers and log on. Choose a NEW partner and share your essay with him or her. Find a quiet place in the room to work. 1-2 groups may want to go in the hall. Start with one essay or the other and bring it up on both screens.

Today, focus on "LURKING" What is almost there that you want more of? I am finding myself discussing this in nearly every conference.

Keep in mind audience and purpose while you are responding.

Sit down and face each other, set up your computers Battleship style.

The writer should read their piece out loud to their partner. This is //**important**//, do not skip it. Reading a piece out loud forces you to think about your voice.

Leave feedback.

Switch roles. Repeat.

Remember, you are responsible for leaving 4 pieces of feedback.

Also, work on your JUX posts they will be due next week as well.

When you are done, begin reading Orwell's //Politics and the English Language.//
 * //There will be a quiz on it on monday. (I promise).//**


 * //You can find the essay here//**

//Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close// Discussion question.
One paragraph for Monday

=
Reread “Why I’m Not Where You are 4/12/78” (pages 208-216). Try to explain the passage. How does it fit into the narrative? Does it belong in the novel? How does Safran Foer subvert traditional storytelling modes in other ways in the novel? What does this passage reveal about both Oskar’s Grandfather and Thomas? Safran Foer’s novel has been accused by critics a s being “gimmicky” is this a fair complaint? Do his gimmicks work for you? Why or why not? ======

Select either painting and write a solid paragraph in which you analyze the image's significance. What does the painting mean? What do you see? How is it composed? What is it about? To what does it relate? What details matter? What might it mean?
