A reminder for all students to wear orange on Fri, Sept 27th to your show your solidarity to the truth and reconciliation movement.

English 9H: 

  • read Act II, sc i-ii in TN
  • modernized soliloquy assignment (p. 78 #1)
  • reminder: Illyria travel brochures are due at the start of class Fri (Sept 27)

English 11CW (Pd 2 & 4):

  • review analysis for “After the Sirens” and make corrections on analysis sheets
  • note taking: proper quote integration :1) You want to avoid simply placing a quote into your writing with no set up at all (which leaves your quote as a stand alone sentence unattached to any of your own writing).

    EXAMPLE: The dramatic climax of the novel happens when Winston and Julia are caught. “’We are the dead,’ said an iron voice behind them” (188).

    2) While not overly sophisticated, introducing your quote using a colon is better than the previous example.

    EXAMPLE: The dramatic climax of the novel, when Winston and Julia are caught, can be seen in the following quote: “’We are the dead,’ said an iron voice behind them” (188).3) This is a slightly more advanced method of quote integration where you smoothly introduce your quote using a comma rather than a colon.

    EXAMPLE: The dramatic climax of the novel, when Winston and Julia are caught, happens when the telescreen says, “’We are the dead’” (188).4) For superstar status, work the quote directly into your sentence in such a way that the quote’s words blend to sound like your own.

    EXAMPLE: Winston and Julia are frozen in terror when they hear their words, “’We are the dead’” being echoed back from ”an iron voice behind them” (188).
