Tuesday

Still sick. Sorry to everyone...

1) What do these two pictures share in common? What does each photo make you think of in your own life?

For one photo write a sentence that describes the contrast in the photo.

Writing about contrast means that you have to be able to write about TWO things at a time. It`s trickier than we might think. Today you will write about contrast in order to gear up for writing a big compare and contrast essay.

2) Remember the exemplars I gave you last week - the ones that were all about a poem entitled, `The Dumka`?

Today is your turn to try out the provincial exam sample - pages 4-7.

By the end of class, try out the MC questions - help one another - and more importantly, write a rough draft of your response to the contrast question about `The Dumka.`

DUE TODAY.
