I've been out for the past two days and would like to go over what was done in class.
Monday: Students worked with the literary element, plot, while exploring the myth, "The Flight of Daedalus." Here are some brief definitions and a diagram that students are expected to know:
- Exposition: the beginning of the story, establishment of setting and characters
- Conflict: the problem(s) faced by the characters
- Rising Action: events in the story leading up to the climax
- Climax: the culmination of events in the story, point of highest reader interest
- Falling Action: events leading to the solving of the story’s problems
- Resolution: how events and problems of the story are solved
Theme- a central idea or ideas explored by a literary work. There may be more than one theme in a given piece of writing.
Packets for both days are due today, Wednesday, Sept. 14 in class.
