Friday, September 11th

 1. LIT HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) 

Each class period we are going to start with high intensity literary analysis training. We will be doing this to, first, give you an idea of what you will be doing in the near future, as I model the process of literary analysis. Secondly, this is going to be repeated practice of applying devices and pulling supportive primary examples. 

LITERARY CLAIM: 

In the opening chapter of Circe, Michelle Miller effectively depicts an environment of hedonistic opulence that will serve as juxtaposition to the introspective and unobtrusive characterization of Circe. 

Read the first 4 pages of Circe. Find as many specific quotes that support Mrs. Schulenberg-Cole's literary claim. Write these in your notes. Be ready to discuss and connect back to claim.
