Home Learning, Due Monday & Wednesday, 1/31 and 2/2

For Their Eyes Were Watching God, choose your favorite scene.  Then, make a list of 20 quotes (throughout the entire book, not just from that favorite scene) that exemplify 5 different literary or syntactical tools (4 for each of the 5) that Hurston incorporates in the novel.  We have discussed several in class.  If you do not wish to make a separate list, use sticky notes to mark the pages of the quotes directly in your book.  YOU WILL NEED THESE FOR OUR CLASS ACTIVITY ON MONDAY, SO COME PREPARED! 

You also need to make notecards for ALL the words and roots. (Here is the link to the comprehensive word list.)  You are allowed to group words that mean the same thing.  Do not group words that are of different parts of speech!  On one side should be the word (or words), and the other side should have the definition and/or a synonym.  No typing!  THIS IS DUE ON WEDNESDAY, but START NOW!

Enjoy your weekend!  :o)

    Quotes like "Oh Lawd blah blah", or whatever she wrote? It can only be found from 1 scene?

      I reworded the directions above. The quotes do not have to be solely from the scene you chose. The 20 quotes can come from anywhere in the book, but they should be grouped, by 4, into 5 different categories of literary devices and/or syntactical tools. :o) Let me know if this makes more sense.

    Mrs. Curbelo, for the vocab words and root words, do we have to do them in index cards?

I know my attendance is horrid, but may you please either email me this even just tell Cindy in class & I'll text her for it. Thank you, Vanessa 5th period.
