We talked about the evolution of language - how terms used to take a great deal of time to shift in meaning, and move through small groups and into the greater population - as opposed to this moment in time, when an algorithm can be tweaked, and suddenly a word is not longer publishable in an app used by billions - we discussed why this happens, how it might impact language and expression, how some get around language rules, and what sort of folks are best at skirting rules.
Students discussed their understandings of "A Possibility of Evil," via the short story terms.
Students received an example of a grading quick scale that looks at different aspects of informal writing - to see what different levels might include.
Homework:
Write a theme statement for "A Possibility of Evil" - use the "How to Write a Theme Statement" sheet, and double check that you've followed the rules using the questions on the back.
Look at direct and indirect characterization in your terms package - think about these different forms of characterization as they relate to Miss Strangeworth.
