September 21st

We will be heading into the world of new explorers finding their way to the New World.  But now they are starting to come in larger groups for not always a good reason.  For Friday, take a look at the following word,

"Puritan"

Define it and understand some of the history of this word.  This will help you understand who you are reading in the next story.
Read from page 40-46

Next class we will discuss this group and their presence in The New World.  Also, we will look at this speech and go over the rhetoric and what it represents.

Good Night

September 20th

In today's class I wasn't sure if you all understood what was happening or maybe if I'm speaking too fast.  It would be great if someone emailed me about what they would like more of in class.  I do expect a lot from my students but its because I want all of you to be operate at a high level!

Homework:
Due tomorrow in class.

Answer the following three questions.

1. Find examples of perspective, one from pg. 19, 20, 21 and 22.  Remember to find the proof by quoting it and explaining the literal meaning and the significance of the quote.

2. What is the theme of the story?

3. What about the journal do you not trust? Explain.

Good luck!
