Today, please turn in your drafts of your adventure story if you have not yet done so. Some students still have not completed their Stephen King revision. Time has come to put that to rest. Turn in what you have (if you have anything written) and let's move on please. To facilitate this, I'm not accepting any Stephen King revisions past Thursday's class.
With Ms. Sloane, please gather in room 238 to read the short stories: "The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "Johanna" by Jane Yolen, and "The Erl King" by Angela Carter. You can learn more about these famous authors at their links.
Carter uses the famous poem by Johann Wolfgang Goethe (itself a poem about a legend) to inspire her story. Put to music, the Erlking is one of the muscian Shubert's famous short pieces. Here is a short video of it. What influences might Yolen and Marquez have for their stories?
Use your journals to complete the writing prompts and exercises today.
If you do not complete the reading today in class, please complete it as homework.
HOMEWORK: If you did not read the short stories: "The Tower of the Elephant", "Troll Bridge", "The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings", "Johanna", or "The Erl King" please do so. There will be a test at the end of this unit on these stories. Annotate and take notes on stories to help you remember the premise, plot, setting, characters, themes, and the author.
