  1. Bell Ringer: Thursday, April 4th Copy down the vocab for today… Importunity (n): 1. A request that is persistent, especially to the state of being annoying 2. The state of being pressing, insistent, and obtrusive Sentence: To my chagrin, I finally gave in to my little brother’s importunities. Then answer: Are you excited for SPRING BREAK?!!1 Write about it! What are you doing? Even if you’re just staying here, maybe you want to make a laundry list of things you want to do/get done.

  2. Just so you know… • You ARE allowed to do re-writes of your paper/project • Not everyone’s is graded, but I will be grading over break, so you can check pinnacle • You MUST conference with me if you want to re-write. That means…if you re-write and do not conference with me, I will not re-grade your paper. • Since it’s break, we can e-conference. You will write me an email with 3 specific questions about how you can improve your paper/project (“How can I improve?” is not a valid question). • Once you conference with me, I will give you a dead-line for a re-write. The latest you can conference with me is Tuesday morning (April 17th).

  3. Extra credit over break… • Take note in the world around you… • Where do you see gender roles coming into play? • This could be ANYWHERE. TV, radio, walking in the mall, going to a sports game, walking on the beach, etc. • Take note of at least 3 instances, and … • Describe the instance. • Analyze it – how does it play into prescribed gender roles (or not)? Would most people notice this? Is this FAIR? • Each analysis must be at least a paragraph long (8 sentences). • The better your analysis, the more points of extra credit you will receive.

  4. According to Thereoux Masculinity Femininity

  5. Share your response… • With the person next to you… • Responses from the class?

  6. “The Story of an Hour” • Kate Chopin • 1894 • Let’s read the questions first, and then read the story.
