I am sorry that I am absent from P-22 today, but fear not - I have a plan.
Please rotate your desks together and form your Lit-Analysis Leagues (formerly known as your Quad Groups).
Play "nose-goes" to select one person who needs to take out a piece of lined paper.
Everyone should take out their copy of Wuthering Heights. As a group, answer the following questions:
1) Take a close look at pages 206-208. How would you characterize Hareton as a young man? Use a quote for support.
2) Take a look at pages 222-225. How would you characterize Linton as a young man? Use a quote for support.
3) Reread page 232. Compare Cathy and Linton's "perfect days." What do these descriptions tell us about them as individuals and about their relationship?
4) Take another look at Emily Brontë's poetry. As a group, write a 10-line poem mimicking Bronte's voice, diction, and imagery. But instead of speaking as one imprisoned on the moors, write as a student imprisoned on the campus of DHS. The best group-poem will win the highly coveted "Brontë Award."
Make sure to turn in the assignment by the end of the period.
