Daily Log

Thursday, September 23

We used the SAT question of the day to introduce the term and concept of "idiom."

We introduced Mary Rowlandson's Narrative by reading the prefatory material about her and the war with the Wampanoags on page 38, supplemented by the comments of "King Phillip" (Metacomet) himself on the causes for the war.  We then began reading the excerpts from Rowlandson's account, focusing especially on her use of allusions to biblical passages.

HW due Friday:
Finish reading the Rowlandson excerpts and answer question 2 on page 46 in a single typed paragraph.
