English/Lit 7

English - Day 2 of Internet Research Unit. No homework.

Literature -
  • We discussed some of the formalities of writing letters
  • We discussed "Dear Abby." Who is she? Why do people write to her seeking advice? How does she go about dispensing this advice?
  • Students will be writing a "Dear Abby" letter from the perspective of the main character of the short story, "Broken Chain." The students will want to use their characterization skills to make the letter authentic. They want the letter to reflect the voice of the main character, Alfonso. Students will be in the computer lab typing these letters tomorrow.
  • Homework! If students have not finished the rough draft of their "Dear Abby" letter, they will need to do so tonight.
