Print for class by Wednesday January 25th

We have conducted some close "readings" of paintings in class. Below you will find four more paintings, two by Kahlo and two by Munch. Select one to print in color. You can print in the library if need be.  You might have to cut and paste the image in a word document. Be sure to leave enough room around the painting to annotate. Bring the image to class on Wednesday, January 25th. You will annotate the painting and connect it to The Metamorphosis in a close reading. Come prepared with notes, quotes, ideas to use for your close reading.

Without Hope, Kahlo 1945

Portrait of Frida and Diegoe Rivera, Kahlo 1931

Vampire, Munch 1893-1894

The Dance of Life, Munch 1899-1900

There was some difficulty for some students to post comments without a gmail account. In order to ensure everyone can post a comment by the due date 1/12/12, I have temporarily changed the commenting options. What does this mean to you? The most important thing is that you now have to make sure you physically type your name at the end of your comment. Very important to do if you want to get credit for your spectacular post.  Secondly, you will have to create a gmail account between now and your second blog post which will be before the end of the month. Creating an account with gmail is very easy and takes only a few minutes.

Welcome class of 2015!

Here it is! Your very own English class blog (thunderous applause commence). This is where you'll post, respond, connect and discuss ideas about the literature we read. This blog will act as a way for you to communicate with each other and formulate opinions and ideas. Remember that these entries are your classwork/homework. Anything you write here will be seen and graded. Your classmates will also view your entries and get the opportunity to comment. What you write here should be thought-out and school-appropriate. This blog is an extension of Edison High School and is subject to school rules and regulations.
Stay tuned for more posts.
