Antagonistic and Dutiful

Students handed in their letter of introductions (which were due today). (Alex, Lena, Richard, Dawson, Lisa, and Peter still have to hand theirs in -- along with today's absences: Daniel, Skyler, and Kim)

Story Parts Notes - we added notes on the 7 character types (antatonist, protagonist, flat, round, static, dynamic, stock) -- we discussed examples of each.

We learned what the words dutiful and antagonistic mean.

We discussed the policy of Apartheid that was in place in South Africa up until 1993, and read some notes.

Students read the story "Once Upon a Time" from our texts and completed 7 questions (these are for homework).


1.              What is the husband’s first attempt to calm his wife’s fears?
2.              How does the little boy use this security measure?
3.              Why are the burglar alarms not effective in preventing crime?
4.              Why do the man and woman not hire anyone from the street?
5.              Why does the wife send out bread and tea?  Why is this discouraged?
6.              What is the next choice of security and how does the husband's mother contribute?
7.       How do the man and woman arrive at their final choice of barricade?
