English 11

Hello everyone.  Monday will be our fourth literary circle (up to page 284).  Tuesday will be the vocabulary test; and on Wednesday, not Tuesday, you will write your narrative composition (about a frightening/funny/painful/happy experience).  Review the poetic terms we discussed this week:  lyric, narrative, ballad, sense imagery, simile, metaphor, alliteration, consonance, assonance, personification, hyperbole, understatement, and allusion.  We discussed this last one in relation to "Strongboy" when the writer alluded to the circus strongboy and the cartoonist alluded to Tarzan.

Here is the link to Loreena McKennitt's version of "The Highwayman" I hope you enjoy it.  Have a good weekend.
