For Monday, February 3

AWESOME AND INCREDIBLE JOB TODAY~  I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!

NEWS ALERT!  Macbeth Director's Notebook will be due on February 13, 2014.  THIS IS A NEW DUE DATE.

On Monday,
You will work with your partner to solidify plans for a performance on Wednesday.  Grade Matrix for duet acting is the same as your grade matrix for the dagger soliloquy.

For this weekend:
Task #1:  Look over your script for Macbeth Duet Acting Performance

Task #2:  Find the poem "Out, Out" by Robert Frost on the internet.  Print out a copy.  Annotate the poem as to literary device.  Now connect each literary device to meaning.  You should create a hand-written (or typed if you prefer) chart in which you list a quote in the left column, literary device in the middle column and tie it to meaning in the right column.

For instance:

"snarled and rattled"   onomatopoeia/personification   monster noises/saw is alive/saw is villain

Task #3:
Read House on Mango Street "Meme Ortiz" through "A Rice Sandwich" (21-45). 
Write a sentence at the end of each chapter telling me something that stands out to you.

For "Darius & the Clouds"~Take each paragraph of the story (3) and write a 3-5 lines stanza of a poem.  Your poem should mirror Darius's story.  However, the reflection can be shimmery (a reflection only in mood/tone), OR it can be an exact representation.

For "A Rice Sandwich"~Create a chart comparing the characters Rachel from "Eleven" and Esperanza from "A Rice Sandwich".  You can compose Rachel's side of the chart from memory OR look up the story if you want.
