  1. Do Now • Take “Sentence Fragments” worksheet from my desk and complete

  2. Subject is always a noun • Noun: person, place, thing, or idea • Types of nouns: proper, common, concrete, abstract, compound, collective

  3. Types of Nouns • Proper:a specific person, place, thing, or idea. These get capitalized! • Beatles, Montreal • Common:any person, place, thing, or idea. Should not be capitalized (unless starting a sentence or part of a title) • children, honesty • Concrete: things you can see or touch • desk, chair • Abstract: ideas, qualities, or feelings • honor, sadness • Compound: made up of two or more words. To pluralize compound nouns, add –s or –esto the most important part of the compound • Commander in Chief / Commanders in Chief

  4. Collective Nouns • Name a group that is made up of individuals • Treat it like a singular noun • EX: The team wins many games. • Do NOT follow the directions on the last page. Just circle/underline the collective noun in each sentence.

  5. Answer in your Reading Section • What does it mean for a convicted criminal to “plea insanity?” How do we determine, with certainty, if someone is actually “insane?”

  6. “The Tell-Tale Heart” (pg 38) • by Edgar Allan Poe, 1843 • Gothic fiction short story • United States • first-person, unnamed narrator trying to convince the reader of his sanity

  7. Terms • Unreliable narrator: the reader cannot always believe what a narrator is saying • EX: if the narrator is a young child or mentally ill • Ways to create suspense: sound, repetition • Irony: a situation has an unexpected outcome

  8. Create a “Mood Map” (on the back of your questions) • In the center of your map, write an adjective that describes the mood of the story: the overall atmosphere/feeling it creates • Now, list textual evidence that supports this mood. The textual evidence should relate to: • Setting • Theme • Word choice • Imagery • Come up with at least one piece of evidence for each category above. Label which category each piece of evidence falls unders. You should have six pieces of text evidence in total.
