I. We researched the For Strength of Youth Pamphlet and the scriptures and reasoned that:
A. The way we use language reflects our individuality and character and our commitment to Christ.
B. We are known by our voice, penmanship, our communication style, writing ability, and vocabulary.
C. We have a responsibility to cultivate our English skills to better serve God and His kingdom.
II. We discussed the 7 Literary Terms we will be studying this semester/year: biography, letters, essay, drama, autobiography, poetry, and prose.
IV. We discussed and defined the 5 Literary Elements we will use to analyze the literature we read. These include: setting, characterization, plot, theme, and style.
HOMEWORK:
1) Write a short definition of each of the 7 types of literature using the Websters 1828 Dictionary (online version will work-just google Websters 1828 online dictionary)
2) Research and record a scripture that uses the word language, word, or communication, etc.
3) Finish homework from last week: copy the poem "Father William;" diagram the sentence "Literature is the study of character and life."
