Please print them out with the poem on the front page with a proper MLA heading, title, etc. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. William Blake (**1757 - 1827 / London / England)**

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**London**

wandered through each chartered street, Near where the chartered Thames does flow, A mark in every face I meet, Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every man, In every infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forged manacles I hear:

How the chimney-sweeper's cry Every blackening church appals, And the hapless soldier's sigh Runs in blood down palace-walls.

But most, through midnight streets I hear How the youthful harlot's curse Blasts the new-born infant's tear, And blights with plagues the marriage-hearse.

[]

**Existentialsim:** a chiefly 20th century philosophical movement embracing diverse doctrines but centering on analysis of individual [|existence] in an unfathomable universe and the plight of the individual who must assume ultimate responsibility for acts of free will without any certain knowledge of what is right or wrong or good or bad

Little fly, Thy summer’s play My thoughtless hand Has brushed away.
 * The Fly**

Am not I A fly like thee? Or art not thou A man like me?

For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life And strength and breath, And the want Of thought is death,

Then am I A happy fly, If I live, Or if I die. []

The Echoeing Green

The Sun does arise, And make happy the skies. The merry bells ring, To welcome the Spring. The sky-lark and thrush, The birds of the bush, Sing louder around, To the bells cheerful sound. While our sports shall be seen On the Echoing Green.

Old John, with white hair Does laugh away care, Sitting under the oak, Among the old folk. They laugh at our play, And soon they all say, Such such were the joys When we all girls & boys. In our youth time were seen, On the Echoing Green.

Till the little ones weary No more can be merry The sun does descend, And our sports have an end: Round the laps of their mothers. Many sisters and brothers, Like birds in their nest. Are ready for rest; And sport no more seen, On the darkening Green. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/31/2011 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Peer Revision (Using inferences to develop characters through indirect characterization)


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Highlight Three lines, sentences, phrases, descriptions that you think work well in their story. Write why you like them using the comment feature of open office.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Highlight any inventions that you find in their story. An invention is a mistake that someone makes in their writing over and over. It is usually cuased by not knowing a simple rule of grammar or style. Example: A writer doesn't know to intend new paragraphs, so he never indents a new paragraph.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Three ideas to help make his or her paper better
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the end of their paper, write them a memo featuring the three things you liked, three inventions, and most importantly three ideas to make their paper better for the next draft. The tips that you give them should really focus on content, rather than grammar. Example: I want to know more about Timmy's conflict with Leslie. Try to develop that conflict more.

Grammar Guide DUE April 15th Rough draft of inference story due Tuesday.

What content specific vocabulary are you missing (medical terminology, war terms, sports terminology, etc)? Do five minutes of research on the web before writing today. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Continue writing your short story using your prewriting "Creating a Character" activity. Your short story should be at least two pages long. Also, include as many details from your character prewrite as possible, but remember to "SHOW" your reader by developing opportunities for them to make inferences. No talking!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/23/2011 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Creating a character by inference- []

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Making your readers make inferences about your characters is a great way to develop a character through indirect characterization. Showing your reader the appearance, likes, dislikes, fears, abilities, and other characteristics are more intriguing than telling them. For example compare the two lines below.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jack was happy that he got into college. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When Jack received the acceptance letter from UNC he jumped into the air and screamed, "I am a TAR HEEL!" <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3/22/2011 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[] 2. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://mrsuraliksclass.wikispaces.com/

 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I chose a compound sentence because I thought that a compound sentence had a dependent clause and a independent clause
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The correct answer was complex sentence

 * 4) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He smashed the apple against the tree when his brother told him the bad news.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. What are appositives and how do I punctuate them? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[]


 * Today's assignment-** In your composition books, write ten sentences about one or more characters found in the first marking period of //Speak//. Each sentence must contain an appositive that describes that character. Five sentences must use appositives that need to be seperated by commas. Five sentences should use appositives that are detrimental to the meaning of the sentence and therefore do not need commas seperating them from the rest of the sentence. Highlight your appositive in each sentence.


 * Example**-In the lunch room, Melinda was hit by food, hot instant mash potatoes, by a basketball player.

Read through the first marking period of Speak and be prepared for a quiz and activity on Monday, January 31st.

Again, there is white lined paper in the bottom drawer in the filing cabinet. Good Luck! **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In grammar a modifier (or qualifier) is an optional element in phrase structure or clause, the removal of the modifier typically doesn't affect the grammaticality of the construction. Modifiers can be a word, a phrase or an entire clause. Semantically, modifiers describe and provide more accurate definitional meaning for another element.
