Synthesis #4 The Vocab
All students are thrilled when their literature teacher hands them a mile long list of vocab. However, our vocab has proven helpful. Why just today, Guildenstern was full of delightful non-sequiturs. when writing Synthesis #3, I stumbled across my friend hamartia. Vocabulary may seem like a side note in a literature class, yet without these new words my essays are full of unnecessary descriptive phrases. I also didn't know all of these concepts before learning the words for them, and so I am able to find new evidence and better support the essays I write..

Hohohoho that vocab...128 words. Who knew there were different words for when repetition appeared at the end, middle or beginning of a phrase?
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on the essay writing part, it's easier now to know exactly *what* to call that thing when the person misuses a word (malapropism) now. Also, i think this would be a good time for me to mention the stuff you skipped over/didn't mention:
-Multiple Choice questions
-Annotations
-Eras presentation
-Class discussions/forums
-male pregnancy/willy is a prostitute/you can't get no satisfaction 'round these parts
-DIDLS
-Blogging/Misc. stuff we've done in class like Ros and Guild are Dead
Yeah. What Tia said =)
