Freshmen: Today our focus was on compare and contrast. Due Tuesday is a compare-contrast essay of your own. There are a few requirements you need to adhere to: It should be typed, on an interesting topic, and have an interesting title. In your header, include both the lead and conclusion technique you are using as well as the type of compare-contrast structure you are using (subject by subject or point by point). Remember that you compare one thing against another to show something about your subject, and the things you compare need to be similar enough that the comparison makes sense and different enough that it's interesting. The essay is due on Tuesday, December 4.
Honors students: Your compare-contrast essay must be on the following prompt: Compare and contrast Lord of the Flies and Speak in such a way that you address the following idea: Speak and Lord of the Flies are essentially the same story. You can agree or disagree with this statement, but you need to compare and contrast the two stories in order to prove it. Among the things you might compare and contrast are characters, themes, settings, and symbols. Bring this essay with you to the seminar on Tuesday, December 4.
All students should read for 20 minutes.
Sophomores: Today we did some analysis of Campbell's work. Tomorrow, we will have a seminar on the first half of Siddhartha. Bring your seminar prep.
