TODAY IN CLASS
1) Announcement that yes, there will be a major exam over the short-fiction unit. Not yet scheduled.
2) Some examination of the student-friendly qualities of the required 6th edition of Kennedy/Gioia, including the entirely new material at the end of each section. Be sure to study these end-points carefully before attempting even informal, overnight writing assignments. And for the test, the terms within each section are all fair game.
The intro material page numbers were given earlier:
Plot: 5-16
Point of View: 25-29
Character 75-77
Setting 105-108
Tone and Style 138-141; also see Irony, 157-158
Theme 173-175
Symbol 189-191
Even though we started slowly, reading as they were assigned, it's time to pick it up; you should have read any sections you haven't personally covered yet by the end of the week.
New Material in the 6th ed--Summary and review at the end of each section (including lists of terms)
Plot: 22-24
Point of View: 72-74
Character: 103-104
Setting: 135-137
Tone and Style (also Irony): 171-172
Theme: 187-188
Symbol: 221, 224
3) We looked specifically at some of the material on plot, (lots of detail to be responsible for!), POV (we noted esp. interior monologue as one aspect of stream-of-consciousness, but also something that can exist on its own), and symbolism ("requirements"--a caveat against scavenger hunts). And I put up sample papers on point of view and symbol before returning the short element write-ups for "Granny Weatherall."
FOR TOMORROW
Essay. That's it.
