Overview from 7/19 and Assignment due 7/20

Today students were given the opportunity to begin working on their monologues in class with me in case they had questions or trouble starting.

UPDATE: Satire was also mentioned in class since it came up in the story:

Satire: (noun) the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

I recommended that students start a list of things they feel should be included in their monologue before they started writing it.

Things that should really be considered in addition to summarizing the characters journey:
Marxist
Critical Race
Feminist
Historicism
Psychoanalytical
Point of View
Characterization (Direct and Indirect/STEAL)
Irony
Types of Conflict
Plot triangle/exposition, climax, resolution


For tomorrow: Read and annotate pages 241-266.
