Today we discussed how humans use the story frame as a way to store information in memory and the strange impact that has on the information (see NPR article posted below).
Afterwards, we took notes on how to write a literary analysis paragraph...not too hard, and they are great frames to store important information about a story...how convenient! You will get to choose any story that we have read together ("All Summer In a Day," "After I Was Thrown Into the River, and Before I Drowned,""The Cask of Amontillado," "Harrison Bergeron," "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," and the one below) AND pick one term (characterization, irony, conflict) to talk about!
Homework: Read the story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and write your literary paragraph. Due Friday.
Okay, so there is a 12-part Youtube version of it...again, it is not exactly the same as the story, so read the story, but if you want to have some fun...check it out...I put the first installment below...but you have to find the rest if you want to watch the whole thing!
