*October 29

JOURNAL TOPIC:

What is it about scary stories that scares us?  Why, after watching a scary movie, does every shadow and every sound seem to take on a new significance?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Vocab
3. A word on active reading notes
4. Begin "Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

HW:
1. Post initial impressions of "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and vocabulary words to your blog
2. Novelists: Create a file for your work (if you haven't already) and create an account on Pathbrite
3. Non-novelists: identify at least one storytelling technique from "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and post a description with an example to your blog.

[*PLEASE NOTE: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO UPDATE YOUR BLOG FOR CREDIT IN THE SECOND GRADING PERIOD.]

      Sure, Mia, here are a few we've discussed: allusion, characterization (direct & indirect), symbolism, figurative language (such as metaphor and simile), diction, and syntax.
