OCTOBER - is "Short Story" month. We will be analyzing the elements of fiction: plot, theme, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, denouement, and conclusion in several short stories. The definitions and spelling of these elements will be tested. At the end of the unit there will be a Short Story Unit Exam. During ALL months our students will be writing introductory paragraphs (including constructing thesis statements), writing 3 paragraph essays, and 5 paragraph essays.
NOVEMBER - Patrick Henry and Orations. Studying Patrick Henry's speech to the Virginia Convention ("Give me liberty, or give me death!") and the Elements of Oration: repetition, restatement, rhetorical question, allusion, and parallelism - will give us the framework to construct our own orations presented in class during this month. Please feel free to join your student's class the day he or she is presenting! During the season of Thanksgiving we will be exploring an "Attitude of Gratitude." We will study the Thanksgiving Day Proclamations of several presidents, and write "thanks" letters of our own.
