Mr. O'Harra - This looks like an excellent book and fits right in with our upcoming Renaissance unit. Feel free to read it and review its merits in a sophisticated book review. I think I'm going to try and lay my hands on it. (12 hours ago)

William L. - If you want to try and make it, go ahead. It's realy easy. Just mix like a 1/10 ratio of water to cornstarch. Alot of cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water should do it. When your finished it should look like puddy. (13 hours ago)

Mr. Ryan - That sounds similar to the stuff the scientist in 2057 was making to repel bullets. It had iron fragments or something in it and stood rigid when something hard impacted it. (8 minutes ago)

Fariheen T. - what does a Bard Banter look like? (13 hours ago)

Ms. Hicks - The Bard Banter is the same as the dialogical journal you did for the 2.2 homework. On the left side put quotes, and on the right side put your commentary to go with your quotes. Choose at least four of the following questions for each quote:
1) How would I translate this quotation in my own words? What are the key words--concrete nouns and powerful verbs?
2) What questions come to mind as I read this quotation?
3) What do I think of the character's choices? Which character intrigues me the most? Why?
4) What impresses or surprises me about the plot developments here? What do I predict will happen next?
5) Can I make any personal connections with the story?
6) Can I make any connections to other literature, historical events, film or art?
7) What's the most important issue or theme in this quotation? Motif?
8) What figurative language (simile, metaphor, and hyperbole) do I notice? How does the language emphasize and illustrate the theme?
9) What word are stressed because of the iambic pentameter and rhyme? How do these metric and rhythmic effects emphasize and illustrate the theme? (13 hours ago)

Fariheen T. - oh and one more thing, what does paradox mean? (13 hours ago)

Ms. Hicks - A paradox is two opposite ideas existing at the same time - for instance women in Elizabethan England had very little rights, but their was a woman that was queen at the time, the most powerful person in England. An oxymoron (two opposite words when put together express a truth like jumbo shrimp) is a type of paradox. (13 hours ago)

Fariheen T. - now i got it, thanks (13 hours ago)

Louie K. - I don't really understand the theme of Water Names, it really just sounds like a fiction story. (11 hours ago)

Mr. Lopez - As I was reading it, I thought that the grandma was more connected to the story than first thought...maybe she was telling a story about herself... Remember the line about her wanting her family to not forget Chinese? Something tells me that that's the theme... (10 hours ago)
