All of Mr. Warren's AP Literature classes will use this site as a daily log of activities and subjects taught.
Objective: The students will complete the TTSTCANDI Analysis for "Cat in the Rain."
BE GREAT FOR SUB! Work hard. The assistant superintendent is here today and if he comes in, he wants to see students working, even if I am not here.
1. Make sure that the story is close read like I want it. Nerds.
2. Complete the TTSTCANDI Chart with a friend or group of friends. I will stamp both tomorrow.
Objective: The students will read and analyze another great story.
1. Get out "Hills Like White Elephants." Look at the prompt. Write an intro.
In Ernest Hemingway’s short story "Hills Like White Elephants" (1927), an American man and a woman named Jig converse at a train station in the Ebro River valley while waiting for the train. Throughout their exchange, the couple navigates a delicate, high-stakes decision.
Read the text of the story carefully. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze how Hemingway uses literary elements and techniques such as setting, tone and narrative structure to convey the underlying tension in the couple's relationship and their conflicting attitudes toward their shared future.
2. Discuss story and what you would write about.
3. Close read (very lit nerd-like) "Cat in the Rain."
Objective: The students will read an amazing story by Ernest Hemingway.
