TODAY IN CLASS

Hand-out today:  Unit literary terms and the stories to be covered in the unit. 
We got excruciatingly close to the end of "RHW"--but there will be a quick wrap-up tomorrow.
Today's discussion focussed on character/characterization; we looked at motivation (chiefly pertaining to Paul), and discussed the respective reasons for claiming either Paul or his mother as the "main character."  However, we did NOT have time for the static/dynamic delineation, though in 4th we had basically built the case.  (We'll do that ASAP in 2nd.)

In both sections, we will tie the static/dynamic issue in with theme, and then look briefly at point of view and setting, using a quick comparison/contrast between "RHW" and "The Demon Lover" as illustration.

FOR TOMORROW
Nothing new if you were conscientious last night.  However, I suggest reading the list of terms, double-check your knowledge by reading the definitions provided in the text, and then DO YOUR OWN SCREENING:  which terms do you know, thoroughly and without a doubt, so that you really don't need to do anything with them?  Put checks by them.  Then, for the rest, I suggest a "short list" with the definitions written out (helps you learn/internalize) or flash cards, etc. Nothing needs to be handed in.
