First and fourth periods began looking at the question of point of view and reliable/unreliable narrators. We read “In the Family” as our initial model text and we’ll be applying what we discovered to a famous Poe story tomorrow.

Second and seventh period students continued working on identifying and applying effective readers’ skills to a text on slave codes (see below for download).

Homework

  • English I Honors: 
    • finish reading “In the Family” (fourth period only);
    • determine and write three quotes from the story to support the claim that the narrator is not reliable;
    • read Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” (available here if you left your book at home).

  1. nice to know that you left a link to the story if we “left the book at home” no but seriously you made a mistake just letting you know.

  2. Yet how do you know I didn’t slip that in just to see if someone was really reading what I wrote?

  3. This confused me.

  4. We’ll be working on it in class today.
