AGENDA 2/29

LAST DAY FOR REGULAR AP EXAM REGISTRATION!!!
Happy Leap Day and Pep Rally Day!
Please turn in Evidence Logs and annotated articles on race, culture, and ethnicity in America.

Finish powerpoint on "Anatomy of Satire" and cloze notes

Begin reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, chapters 1-6
As you read, notice and be prepared to discuss:
1) What stages of Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Reasoning are characters operating at? (Pay particular attention to Huck's moral decisions versus those of the adults in the book.)
2) Note uses of colloquial diction.
3) Who uses the "n" word pejoratively?
4) Land vs. River: What differences/similarities do you see between the actions that happen on land and those that take place on the river?
5) What humor devices do you notice and what effects do they create?
6) Why might Twain have chosen an illiterate boy, Huck, as his main character?

HW: Read chapters 1-6 of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and be prepared to discuss on Monday. Helpful hint: I will be calling randomly on people for comments related to the questions above. Be ready to say something insightful--if I sense people aren't reading, it wouldn't be unlikely that you will begin to experience the excruciating torment of reading quizzes (note my use of both litotes and hyperbole in that last sentence!)
