Wednesday, 9/2

1. Open the Bedford handbook. Turn to Chatper 46: Parts of Speech (p. 478-489).

  • Create a new document titled "Parts of Speech" in Notability. Place in Grammar Notes.
  • Take notes on the basic definitions of each part of speech - do not copy and paste, but digest them by abbreviating and putting in your own words. Here is a list of the parts of speech to find and define:


Noun
Pronoun
Verb
Adjective
Adverb
Preposition
Conjunction
Interjection

Then, in your notes, identify one word from each part of speech in the following sentence. You may do this by copying and pasting the sentence below into your Notability document, and labeling it with annotations:

Hey, grab that pesky Martian rodent by the tail and vigorously swing him around until he learns to not mess with Captain Kirk's old stinky cheese collection.

2. Intro to Short Stories - Discuss and reflect on C.S. Lewis' "We Demand Windows," and complete Journal #3

3. If time, briefly brainstorm the differences between Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale; begin taking Reading Notes on Plot & Genre.

HW: Narrative Revisions (due Tuesday, 9/8). Some time will be given in class for these on block day. You may write beyond three pages, but no more than six.
