First period worked on voice in the first chapters of Nightjohn. We used several quotes to begin looking at how word choice helps create a writer’s voice.

Second period takes its test.

Second and sixth periods had their parts of speech test.

Fourth period finished up the bias unit with a look at presidential campaign advertisements.

Homework

• First period: one-paragraph explanation of how we can discern from the Nightjohn quotes that the narrator is an uneducated slave. (What words and sentence constructions give her away?)
• Fourth period:
  • bias project;
  • two wikis (propaganda definition and bias determination steps).
• Second and sixth periods: none.
