English 12: ACT practice.  For tomorrow, annotate "Pretending" using the following guidelines in comparison to Grendel: How do both approach the concept of Nature vs. Nurture?  How are the "homes" of Roxanne, the narrator, and Grendel instrumental in who they are as characters?  How does the "pretending" theme function?  We will also start talking about Ch. 5 & 6 tomorrow and Wednesday.  Finish Evil collages.

English 10H: In class enrichment.  Group project discussion.  Final choice of original art must be submitted by the end of the day (11:59 pm) on Wednesday with all corresponding required information.  Read "Typhoid Fever" on pg. 485 in textbook.  Dialectical journal style notes over the following: Paradox involving Frank and Patricia meeting.  Irony in F and P discussing their ages.  Juxtaposition of the nuns' attitudes compared to the kids.  Seamus as a foil to both the nuns and the children.  Symbolic attributes of literature and poetry to Frank's life experience.  Why does Frank continue the story past Patricia's death?  How do the seemingly contradictory mood and tone work in conjunction with each other?
