Today we are going to talk more about Precis writing. We will look at "Flying the Friendly Skies" and "Why We Crave Horror Movies". We will also talk about Assata, vocabulary and literary terms that you should start to know.
I also hope to give you a few minutes to research news items to write about and to look up your first vocabulary list.
Homework for Friday/Monday:
1) Research an news Article in two different formats and write a summary of it and a response.
2) (MONDAY) Write a summary outline of Assata's autobiography, and discuss one major theme of the book, and an detail example of a scene of how that theme works, and discuss the author's purpose in writing the book as a whole. You might also discuss strategies Assata uses to bring out her ideas (structure, use of syntax or diction, use of imagery, use of metaphors or symbols, etc).
3) Read Assata 6-7.
4) Rewrite of Essay, "Upon Seeing England for the 1st Time"
