Prometheus / Silver Kiss XX

Grade 12

Senior journal alert!
I'm holding you to a higher standard this marking period. I am looking for 5 minutes of mindful writing for each entry, not 4 minutes of thinking and 1 of writing. So what you need to do is examine your entries for length. 5 minutes is 300 seconds. How many seconds per line are you averaging? Anything more than 20 is unacceptable, and 10 to 15 is the sweet spot. I will make allowances for type of paper and handwriting, but if you're using a standard, wide ruled composition notebook anything less than 20 lines won't make it.
  • Persueus analysis papers due.
  • Discussed the Prometheus myth in groups in terms of specific imagery, archetypes, symbols and metaphors.
    • Example: What might fire represent? Answer: the power of illumination, knowledge, reason; also  the power of destruction
  • Group B journals due tomorrow
  • Prometheus response paper due Wednesday.

Grade 10
  • Finished reading the book. Discussed as needed.
