Comp. Lit. II:

Today
We played 3 Strikes and You Quiz.  A Block took a quiz by getting three strikes.  This was on CH 10,11,12.

I broke you into small groups and asked you to give modern 2014 teenage examples of the following terms:

Slang
Metaphor
Simile
Hyperbole
Idiom

Txting in the Rye.  If Holden was writing this in 2014, what would his txt look like?  I asked you to write ten txt msgs that capture Holden's tone and style, considering what we have been looking at in terms of language.

I showed you a interview with the director of the Salinger Documentary.
This can be viewed here:

HW:  Please read CH 13,14,15.  Please continue with your stickies looking for at least 5 things that you found interesting.
