First and fifth periods continued working on concrete details from Nightjohn. We created new concrete details to back up the topic sentence about one character’s use of non-standard English being an indication of her social status (i.e., that she is a slave).

• First period notes
• Fifth period notes

Second and fourth periods began looking at the question of whether or not all narrators are reliable. We initially looked at “In the Family” before turning to Poe’s classic “The Cask of Amontillado.”
