We had our grammar test today - written and marked - so I'll record the marks and return the tests to you tomorrow. Then we can start on learning the material actually planned for the Eng4U course.
We took up your responses to The Lady of Shalott, discussing different perspectives and what to do with your insights once you generate them. Make sure you are doing something with your observation - extending the insight into a connection you can make with the effect of the poem and various theses you could argue.
We were also able to discuss some of the persuasive strategies used by the writer of "America on $195 a Week". We didn't have time to go over the persuasive essays you can find in your Echoes text, but here they are now:
To Err is Human, p 306
Science and Beauty, p 311
Forget Prince Charming, p 322
We'll be looking at these essays in class, and I'll be assigning the reading for homework, so you may want to read these for SURF.
