Small group: discuss the two articles you read for HW using the questions you wrote about.

Write or draw responses to the following prompts:
 * Warm-up: When I say the word… **

When I say the phrase “wild west” what comes to mind?

When I use the phrase “Cowboys and Indians,” what comes to mind?

When I say the phrase “manifest destiny” what comes to mind?

When I say the word “extinction” what comes to mind?

**Academic Vocabulary: Add this to your vocabulary section in your reading/writing journal**

Allusion:

When an author references another work of literature, historical event, historical figure, or a specific place without additional explanation or detail. The goal of allusion is to provide additional meaning/context to their work through the comparison the reference creates.

EX: “Chocolate was his Achilles’ heel.” “She was being a total Scrooge.” “He/she’s the Lebron James of his/her generation.” “He/she was straight out of a Portlandia skit.” “They could have walked right out of the pages of The Great Gatsby.”

As I read the poem aloud, we annotated for the following: Underline allusions--comment on your knowledge of what is being alluded to

HW: Small Group Allusion Research: If you were absent, pick ONE of the following to read/research. Next class, you'll be presenting that one allusion's backstory/info to the class. The links are there to help guide your research, but you are not confined to these links. If you do find more about your topic, make sure to copy the citations of the article/information you find. Fully researching your allusion is HW.
