English 10

Today in class, we went over the questions on "The Telltale Heart" and completed a handout on Point of View.

Period 2:
Tonight, find a quote from anywhere in the story that could be used as an example that proves the narrator is either narcissistic, obsessive, or delusional.  Your table group selected one of these words.  If you cannot remember which word your table chose, pick one at random.  A quote from the book simply means a sentence or part of a sentence from the story; it does not mean a snippet of dialogue.
Period 2 was also assigned a sheet on comma rules.

Period 3:
Tonight, find a quote from anywhere in the story that could be used as an example that proves the narrator is either delusional, intelligent, obsessive, or confident.  Your table group selected one of these words.  If you cannot remember which word your table chose, pick one at random.  A quote from the book simply means a sentence or part of a sentence from the story; it does not mean a snippet of dialogue.
