 * Brochure Assignment**
 * You will be working on a one-page newspaper assignment for English/Ms. Rowe and IP/me. The one-page document should have a catchy title and two articles….one is a biography of either Agatha Christie OR Edgar Allan Poe. The other is a summary of a short story written by the author you choose. For Poe, you can choose the Tell Tale Heart or The Raven. For Agatha Christie, you have one selection (I’m sorry but I can’t remember the title of it). The summaries you will prepare in English and then be able to add them to your document. The biographies, however, you can work on today in class. You also need to search the net for some graphics/pictures to include in your short newspaper. So….Write the bios in Word and save. And, search the net for some graphics to include; save them.
 * If you finish the above, then sketch your newspaper format on paper (as we did with the practice assignment).
 * Once the sketch is done, your bio/summary written in Word, your graphics saved, you are ready to begin working in Publisher! This assignment will be due by the end of class on Friday and will be printed in color.

__What are we learning today?__ __How are we learning it?__ __What are we learning today?__ __How are we learning it?__ 1) “The Stowaway” – Get your Lit and Lang book. When you are done with this book please put it NEATLY away at the end of class. Finish your questions from yesterday. That means you should have #1-5 completed for tomorrow.

Don’t write sentences that go to the place and to get that stuff. 2)  “The Third-Floor Flat” – you are reading this story for the purpose of summary. Can you take snap shots of the important parts? What is a highlight of this story? You are in luck. Work in partners today (if you wish). Reading this out loud or silently is up to you and your partner.

Yahoo!!!!! 2) Get your freedom book out and be ready to write your reaction to "The Raven" Theme** The death of a beautiful woman, as lamented by her bereaved lover. Seraphim ** ," in the fourteenth verse, "perfumed by an unseen censer / Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled..." is used to illustrate the swift, invisible way a scent spreads in a room. A seraphim is one of the six-winged angels standing in the presence of God.  **Summary** It is midnight on a cold evening in December in the 1840s. In a dark and shadowy bedroom, wood burns in the fireplace as a man laments the death of Lenore, a woman he deeply loved. To occupy his mind, he reads a book of ancient stories. But a tapping noise disturbs him. When he opens the door to the bedroom, he sees nothing–only darkness. When the tapping persists, he opens the shutter of the window and discovers a raven, which flies into the room and lands above the door on a bust of Athena (Pallas in the poem), the goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology. It says “Nevermore” to all his thoughts and longings. The raven, a symbol of death, tells the man he will never again ("nevermore") see his beloved, never again hold her–even in heaven.
