The Sword in the Stone II / Catcher in the Rye IV

College Prep 12
  • Stressed the importance of not getting lost in White's description. It is important for an concise concept of the setting, but not as important as the actions of the characters. chapter 1 can be broken down to the following: the governess is fired, Sir Ector discusses the need for a new tutor with Sir Grummore, the haying sequnce reveals important differences between Wart and Kay, as does the hawking sequnce that ends the chapter.
  • Discussed the revealing details in chapter 1 about the characters so far; Sir Ector, kay and the Wart.
  • Chapter 2 plus reading log for tonight. pay special attention to the irony in the scene where wart meets King Pellinore.
Grade 10
  • Took quiz on chapters 1 through 5
  • Discussed the importance of the death of Holden's brother.
  • Reading logs: summaries must be brief. The majority of the log should be on character analysis and development. What is revealed? What lines revela it? What does this say about the character? What predictions can be made?
  • HW: Chapter 6 + reading log.
Note: I will be proctoring the English Regents for the next 5 mornings and will miss periods 2,3 and 4. I deeply regret this. However, the time is to be dedicated to reading the books and writing the reading logs. Any questions or confusions should be noted in notebooks. I will address them.
