*https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/
Today I will: 
  • Identify diction and detail in Atwood's poem "Siren Song" that indicates the speaker's perspective.
  • Compare and contrast Odysseus' perspective through a short writing assignment.
Please Take out
-HW: "The Sirens" Packet
-The Odyssey
-a writing utensil

Today's Agenda:
1. Stamp HW
2. Read "Sirens Song"
3. Complete "The Sirens" Compare and Contrast Paragraph
4. Sample narratives & dialogue gems

Homework:
Attend tutorials, if needed.  Tuesday after school, Wed. at lunch and Thursday after school.
1. Finish "The Sirens" packet completely - due tomorrow
2. Prepare for writing your Narrative
3. HONORS: Dialectical Journal #3 (2 more entries) due Friday
-Your entries should come from the last 1/3 of your book.
-The text excerpts should be spaced out to reveal how the motif is emerging, changing and or taking on new meaning or revealing new themes.
-Do not erase grades on the document.
-Make all suggested changes for a higher score and use comments as advice for the two entries due Friday.
-Do not "resolve" comments I've made to you, instead, "reply" back or ask questions.
-Keep working on the same document in google classroom. Some of you turned it in electronically, so you will have to "unsumbit" to continue working on it.

Let's Get Started!
