FEB 11

We'll start class with our finale for the grammar gambit and a little work with our vocabulary. The we'll discuss the poem "Invictus" that you worked with yesterday and how you went about analyzing the poem.  We'll view the view clips below from "Shawshank Redemption" and discuss how all of this relates to Arming the Spirit.  We'll discuss the idea that "hope is a dangerous thing" and read the story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and complete the questions.  We will discuss how dialogue helps to create character and then do some dialogue writing of our own.
