James Joyce
The next two weeks we are reading the great Irish writer James Joyce. First we will read "Eveline" from the book of short stories Dubliners (pgs. 1207-1212 in your textbook) and complete Writer's Response on page 1208.
Then we will review some questions about the story and complete an exercise in using precise verbs. Replace the verbs in the passage beginning with "A bell clanged upon her heart" and ending with "Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish." (pg. 1212 column two) Rewrite the passage with different verbs.
We will read "Araby," another story from Dubliners and do a Venn diagram comparing the character Eveline and the boy from "Araby." Students will use the Venn diagram as notes for a comparison essay of "Eveline" and "Araby."
Finally, we will watch an A & E Biography video on Joyce and take notes.
