Speak & Mythology

1st thing: Please go to the library and check out Edith Hamilton's Mythology. Keep your SPEAK books for now. I'll collect these at the end of class and take them to the library for you, or you can do it yourself after class.

After you return, today please get into pairs and discuss the novel Speak. Recall the major and minor characters and their role in the book. How does the author use these characters to propel her novel forward? Take 10 minutes to discuss with your partner before we open the discussion to the rest of the class.

We will take a test on Speak today. You may use your books for part 2 of the exam. To do this, after completing part 1, please hand in part 1, then use your book for part 2.

After the test, we will move to room a240 to discuss mythology and archetype.
