Short story review and organizing for absences next week.
Assignment
Answer prompts of her choice from my list of for “Babylon Revisited” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I want at least ¾ page with MLA formatting. Write an essay from the two analyses I provided including themes, type of work, characters, nonverbal communication, etc. for “The Rocking Horse Winner” by D. H. Lawrence. She may choose any topics of her choice that interest her. I told her that she hasn’t been writing and it is time to write again. Read short stories assigned in order. She made herself a folder and looked organized which was nice to see…we’ll see. She said she will check her E-mails from me so that I can send her assignments for the reading…this again was a good sign.

Lesson Comments
Mary finally told me ahead of time that she would be out for next week so that I could organize her reading and assignments while gone. So together we chose stories that she has already read and should read over the following week.
I read part of a peer reviewed article on Balzac that I printed up. I also read a literary criticism of a peer reviewed article on “Babylon Revisited” which I didn’t get to read yesterday.
We talked about the short story she recommended for me to read “The Yellow Wallpaper.” I asked her to provide her analysis first which she had more of a connection with and deeper insight. I am not always the teacher…sometimes they are.
We then had a discusssion about “The Rocking Horse Winner.” She read out loud the themes, climax, tragic irony and nonverbal communication analysis I printed out with guided discussion.
