In class:  review of some of the readings from this past fall. I have completed a graphic organizer for the above stories. You have the OPTION of using these to write your critical lens essay, which is the 4th task in your Regent's exam on Monday. You may, as well, use other works of literature that you have read either this year or in the past. Make sure, however, you review them carefully for genre, title, author, plot details, figurative language usage, setting (time and place), point of view from which the work is written, themes and characters. Below is a copy of the class handout. You have class time today to complete this, using the graphic organizers.

Tomorrow and Friday we will be practicing a critical lens' essay.
