Classwork: annotate the Didion passage about wind; discuss the stylistic choices and their effects on Didion's meaning, go over LOC pg 35-47

Homework: Please read/review pp. 43-49 in LOC. Complete the "Assignment" on pp. 48-49 by completing a Graphic Organizer -- use the example on pp. 43-47 which interacts with the Didion text we read today.
You are not required to copy all of the text into the first columns; instead, simply note the chunk of text you are analyzing like this: "To see the wind (first phrase of the section of the passage) ... as it blew that day" (last phrase of the passage section).
Suggestion: "Chunk" the Ascham text into three parts -- the last paragraph is one part, so divide the first long paragraph into two parts.
