ELA 10 Academic Lit and Comp PLANNED COURSE OF STUDY Course Title English Literature and Composition - Academic Grade Level Tenth Grade Credits One Content Area / Dept. English Language Arts Length of Course One semester Author(s) J. McCaslin, K. Ward, G. Woehlcke Course Description: Literature and Composition (Academic), a diverse, thematically structured course, expands upon the writing process and the development of literary analysis skills. Students write a series of analytical and reader response essays and read from a variety of literary genres. Instruction focuses on analyzing literary elements, analyzing author’s purpose, and writing with precision and focus. Additionally, students learn and practice research skills and processes. Grammar usage within the context of students’ reading and writing is an integral component. Students also continue their study of vocabulary through close analysis of literary passages. Though many years of English education can have a bearing on their results, students take the Literature Keystone Exam in grade 10 in addition to their final exams. Course Rationale: The works in the tenth-grade curriculum compel all of us to examine who we are as storytellers. As students progress through the course, they engage in conversations about how we communicate our identities through the observations, insights, and stories we tell. To this end, students closely examine the obvious ways in which we communicate tone through language, movement, and the nature of our conflicts. These conversations yield valuable dialogue and allow multiple openings to evaluate how an author forms a literary identity. Equally important, students have the opportunity to self-reflect on their own identity. Ultimately, students can see how conflict shapes identity and produces insight and growth. As such, students complete the course with a more complex understanding of how the literary world adds meaning and relevance to their society. Theme Essential Questions for the Course: 1. What is the relationship between people and society? 2. How does literature create the opportunity to explore the subtleties of multiple identities? 3. How do themes, purposes, and ideas develop and force readers to examine themselves in their light? 4. How are observations of our surroundings an important way to understand our place in the world? 1 English Literature and Composition (Academic Level) Summer 2017 Skill and Process Essential Questions for the Course: 1. How does a reader establish a cognitive scheme to guide and develop understanding of text? 2. How do we identify, understand, and analyze the literal and figurative meanings within a text? 3. How do authors’ choices help achieve purpose? 4. How do the implicit and explicit details within the text contribute to and develop meaning? 5. How does research offer the ability to explore, develop, and validate perspectives, understanding, and argument? 6. How do readers interpret texts based on an understanding of both the close reading of interactions of textual features? 7. What is the relationship between function and form, and how does form inform authorial choices? 2 English Literature and Composition (Academic Level) Summer 2017 Curriculum Map: Semester Course Weeks Topics Covered this Month Weeks 1-3 Summer Reading: The Roots of the Storyteller (note: split the last week with summer reading and Curious Incident) Weeks 4-5 Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime Weeks 6-8 Master Harold and the Boys Weeks 9-13 The Catcher in the Rye (The Angst of the Social Critic) Week 14 Journey Back to Childhood: Re-Examining Our Perspective on Children’s Literature Week 15-16 Nonviolent Resistance: The Individual’s Moral Obligation to Act Note: This allows the teacher to differentiate to students’ needs.

How do privileges and limitations within an environment shape us as people? How do we grapple with external conflict and internal conflict? What do our life experiences and perceptions influence our choices and decision making? Skill and Process How does an author’s use of direct and indirect characterization reveal a protagonist’s development? In what ways does an author use literal and figurative (metaphorical) means of expression? How do we use informative text to guide, inform, and increase understanding of another text? How does a reader use close reading strategies to comprehend text, analyze authorial choices, and find deeper meaning?

Savage 1 “Who’s gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It’s chocolate, it’s peppermint ─it’s delicious!” While this may sound like your typical television commercial, you can thank Jerry Seinfeld and his butter fingers for what is actually one of the most renowned lines in television history. As part of a 1993 episode of Seinfeld , subsequently known as “The Junior Mint,” these infamous words have certainly gained a bit more attention than the show’s writers had originally bargained for. In fact, those of you who were annoyed by last year’s focus on a McDonald’s McFlurry on NBC’s 30 Rock may want to take up your beef with Seinfeld’s producers for supposedly showing marketers the way to the future ("Brand Practice: Product Integration Is as Old as Hollywood Itself").

    This book was first published in 1951 by Little, Brown and Company. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE By J.D. Salinger © 1951 CHAPTER 1 If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that--but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all. He's in Hollywood. That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end. He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He just got a Jaguar. One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour.

Defined as a privilege allowing the use of copyrighted ma- terial, for limited purposes, without the copyright owner’s consent,2 fair use stands for the proposition that copyright protection is not ab- solute. Copyright law’s purpose is twofold: It protects the remunera- tive interests of authors, and it cultivates a culture of learning and creativity.3 If its protections are too narrow, copyright’s incentives may be inadequate to motivate authors to create; if they are extended too broadly, copyright owners might chill discourse and cultural de- velopment.4 Fair use straddles this divide.

  • An Experiment in Autobiographical Fiction
    An Experiment in Autobiographical Fiction A Humanities & Arts MQP by Marc Anthony Bouchard The Choice of Autobiographical Fiction When undertaking the project of composing a narrative, a writer is set against more difficulties than mere word choice, use of imagery, metaphor, flourish and correct placement of semi-colons. Writing is a process of refinement, and only one-half of the process of composing a narrative. A successful narrative requires characters, plot, subplots, drama, tension, climatic moments, resolution, conflict and dialogue, and all the best writing in the world could not save a poorly thought out and uninteresting story from disinterest or bad reviews. When I compose a story I do not simply or magically capture ideas and characters out of the air around me, but rather create and conjure them up from the immense pools and depths of my experiences and imagination. It is perhaps impossible for any writer of fiction to not incorporate some aspect of their own life or some story which they have read into their own narratives, regardless of how it manifests itself within their work. Perhaps a writer will emulate the epic structure of The Lord of the Rings to frame a series of battles they had been in while touring Korea, or perhaps they will use the structure or concept of The Catcher in the Rye to tell their own tale of dysfunction or the lasting emotional scars of loss. Perhaps I should reflect upon the similarities of The Catcher in the Rye and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and how while both are amazingly similar, the former is a fiction, while the latter is an autobiography.

  • Less Than Exciting Behaviors Associated with Unneutered
    1 c Less Than Exciting ASPCA Behaviors Associated With Unneutered Male Dogs! Periodic binges of household destruction, digging and scratching. Indoor restlessness/irritability. N ATIONAL Pacing, whining, unable to settle down or focus. Door dashing, fence jumping and assorted escape behaviors; wandering/roaming. Baying, howling, overbarking. Barking/lunging at passersby, fence fighting. Lunging/barking at and fighting with other male dogs. S HELTER Noncompliant, pushy and bossy attitude towards caretakers and strangers. Lack of cooperation. Resistant; an unwillingness to obey commands; refusal to come when called. Pulling/dragging of handler outdoors; excessive sniffing; licking female urine. O UTREACH Sexual frustration; excessive grooming of genital area. Sexual excitement when petted. Offensive growling, snapping, biting, mounting people and objects. Masturbation. A heightened sense of territoriality, marking with urine indoors. Excessive marking on outdoor scent posts. The behaviors described above can be attributed to unneutered male sexuality. The male horomone D testosterone acts as an accelerant making the dog more reactive. As a male puppy matures and enters o adolescence his primary social focus shifts from people to dogs; the human/canine bond becomes g secondary. The limited attention span will make any type of training difficult at best. C a If you are thinking about breeding your dog so he can experience sexual fulfillment ... don’t do it! This r will only let the dog ‘know what he’s missing’ and will elevate his level of frustration. If you have any of e the problems listed above, they will probably get worse; if you do not, their onset may be just around the corner.
