    Hello! You, my students, are doing wonderfully on your compositions.  I am so proud of each of you, and I know you will excel in the next phase of your writing education.  Please, never take for granted the communication skills you are acquiring through classical composition! This week please complete Classical Composition, Fable Stage, Lesson 12 “The Mountain in Labor.”  This is a very short fable I found somewhat amusing.  I can’t wait to see how you rethink and compose it. Please turn in the final draft on Friday. Have a great week!

    Shurley English 6 for May 1st

    April 27, 2020 /

    Welcome to May!!! This week your assignment is Classical Composition, Fable Stage – Lesson #9 “The Thirsty Pigeon.”  Complete the lesson and email or text me a copy of your final draft by Friday.  I chose this lesson so that we could get practice using a few more FODs.  They are topographia, mimesis, and topothesia.  Remember, you do not have to keep the same characters in your story or even the same plot, but your story should illustrate the commonplace or moral of the story. And just a reminder, your composition teacher for next year will continue to use the Fable stage book along with new books, so don’t throw this…
