0. English 3A Only 3 Weeks LEFT!!

1. Monday- Bell Ringer #8
The writer is considering revising the preceding part of this sentence (“At the end of the ‘Golden Lane,’ as the event was also called,”) to read as follows:
At the end of the parade,
If the writer did this, the essay would primarily lose:
F. an indication that Edna Gellhorn preferred the term “Golden Lane” to the term “walkless-talkless parade.”
G. a possible point of confusion, as the proposed revision eliminates a term that was not explained.
H. another historical detail about the parade described in the preceding paragraph.
J. details that help establish the time and place of the essay.
The best answer is H because the phrase "Golden Lane" is a historical detail that informs the reader that Gellhorn's "silent parade" had been given a special name.
The best answer is NOT F because there is no evidence in the essay that suggests Gellhorn preferred any name for her "silent parade."
The best answer is NOT G. If the word parade were substituted for the term "Golden Lane," the reader would lose nothing more than another historical detail. This change would not confuse readers because either way, they would still understand that the sentence referred to Gellhorn's "silent parade."
The best answer is NOT J because the term "Golden Lane" reveals nothing about time and place. Those elements have already been established earlier in the essay.

4. Writing Prompt: page 118
Create a thesis and write one good quote for the Writing Prompt on page 118.
The important minor character of Mary Warren is more fully developed in Act II. She represents the position of girls and young woman in Salem Village. Compare her role in the Proctor household to her role in the courtroom. How is Miller using her as emblematic (a symbol) of the girls’ hysteria and their position in Salem society?

Tuesday- Bell Ringer #9
A. NO CHANGE
B. a live scene
C. a live scene was
D. a live scene that
The best answer is B because it provides an appropriate sentence structure and offers the clearest wording for this sentence.
Mark your answer on the board.
Turn in Writing Prompt from yesterday (on podium).
ALL electronics need to be PUT AWAY!
The best answer is B because it provides an appropriate sentence structure and offers the clearest wording for this sentence. The other choices have faulty structures resulting in unclear and ambiguous statements.
The best answer is NOT A because the sentence structure is awkward. The phrase "a live scene presented by silent costumed participants" modifies and describes the "living tableau." This choice attempts to make this description into a dependent clause but fails to do so properly.
The best answer is NOT C because it creates a sentence that is a comma splice.
The best answer is NOT D because the wording makes this sentence unclear. It illogically reads as though the "live scene," and not the "costumed participants," did the presenting.

6. Today... We are looking at an important scene from Act II

Mark your answer on the board.
ALL electronics need to be PUT AWAY!
The best answer is F because it offers the most precise wording for this sentence.
The best answer is NOT G because the meaning of the sentence is ambiguous. The phrase "states in that women could vote," does not clarify the writer's intended meaning that the women who wore white were representing states where women already had the right to vote.
The best answer is NOT H because the meaning of the sentence is ambiguous. The phrase "states that women could vote," does not clarify the writer's intended meaning that the women who wore white were representing states where women already had the right to vote.
The best answer is NOT J because the meaning of the sentence is ambiguous. The phrase "states women could vote," does not clarify the writer's intended meaning that the women who wore white were representing states where women already had the right to vote.
