PassiveVoice vs. Active Voice There are 2 “voices” in English: Active and Passive We use Active Voice more often and it is more direct. The subject does the action/verb which happens to the direct object. The subject is most important. All grammar covered so far has been in the Active Voice. John  finished  the homework. Peter  scored  a goal. The Passive Voice is used when what receives/feels the action is most important. Usually what does the action is not important or not even mentioned. The Great Wall of China  was begun in 220 B.C.  by the 1 st emperor. The members  were elected a few months ago. Glass  is made from sand. Problems  are discussed  by the whole family.

Gerunds and Infinitives Gerund – is (verb + ING). We use gerunds as nouns, so it is different from the Continuous Verb T enses. A gerund can be a subject , direct object or object of a preposition. A gerund can have its own object object. Playing music is fun. Her singing is beautiful. I’m going shopping . Let’s go skiing . We’re talking about writing in English. Infinitive – is (to + verb). An infinitive can be the subject or direct object. An infinitive can have its own object. To learn guitar is difficult. To talk annoys the teacher. He learned to play well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sometimes you can use either a gerund or an infinitive… I like to do homework. I like doing homework. Voting is important. To vote is important. but sometimes they mean different things. We stopped to play football with T. Paul. We stopped playing football at 5:00. He stopped eating to run around the field. He went to eat after playing football in P.E.

Possessive Questions – “Whose...?” Whose is the question word to ask about possession (the owner of something.) It’s the same as saying, “Who is the owner of the…?” We answer the question with a possessive noun - (singular noun) + ( ‘s)  Steve’s… Mary’s… The doctor’s… Some kid’s… (regular plural noun) + (s’)  The kids’… The girls’… The doctors’… (irregular plural noun) + (‘s)  The children’s … The men’s… The people’s.. possessive pronoun  (mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs) Whose + thing/object + verb + … Whose car is outside?

I will wake up to finish my homework and study before the sun rises . You’re not leaving this room until I know what happened . When using these words as conjunctions, we usually use the present simple tense after when, before, after, until and as soon as because it is a type of cause and effect sentence where we assume the event will happen. So, the cause is present simple and the effect is a future tense (simple, pres. con’t…) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I have completed the project , I will ask T. Patrick to check the grammar. They will take a bus into the city when they have landed in Bangkok . Use the present perfect when the action must be completed before the effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After (I graduate, / I have graduated,) I will go to medical school. Both tenses can be used with “after” without a change in meaning.

Symbols and Symbolism Symbols – are objects, characters or events that have one meaning in the fiction world and another meaning in the real world. In the fiction world symbols have one meaning within the plot/conflict that the characters can understand. In the real world symbols have another meaning as a message from the author to the reader. Here are some visual symbols:

Symbol and Symbolism Symbol – a symbol is an object, picture, logo or character that represents a 2nd meaning beyond the picture as a message from the author/artist to the reader. Symbols are a sign of something more important than the picture itself. Here are some visual examples of symbols and symbolism: draw and then explain the deeper meaning.

Symbols and Symbolism Joseph Bruchac uses symbolism to show that the boy is being reborn (born again) into a new family. The boy comes out of a cave (p.151) and joins the animal family. Later the boy comes out of a hollow log (p.153) and rejoins the human family. In real life a person is born and is the newest family member. The image of a person being born is similar to the image of a person coming out of a cave or hollow log. Therefore when the boy comes out of the cave and later the log, these events are symbols for the boy’s rebirth. He is born again. Another way the author creates the symbol of rebirth is that the boy is blinded by light when he comes out of the cave and log just like a baby who opens his eyes for the 1 st time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is another symbol in this story?

Foreshadowing Foreshadowing – is when the author gives the reader clues about what will happen later in the story.

The subject does the action/verb which happens to the direct object. The subject is most important. All grammar covered so far has been in the Active Voice. John  finished  the homework. Peter  scored  a goal. The Passive Voice is used when what receives/feels the action is most important. Usually what does the action is not important or not even mentioned. The Great Wall of China  was begun in 220 B.C.  by the 1 st emperor. The members  were elected a few months ago. Glass  is made from sand. Problems  are discussed  by the whole family.

Myth and Legend Myth - The main characters in myths are usually gods, supernatural heroes and humans. M yths are often closely linked to religion or kings. A myth is usually told as a true story of how something (Earth, humans, elements of nature…) began, but clearly are not true. Legend – Legends are told as truth, and although there may be a real connection to history, some characters and events are supernatural. Both myths and legends are specific to a certain culture and explain an important element of that society. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ancient Greek plays, myths and legends often have a “ chorus .” The chorus can have different jobs, but gives background information, comments on themes and explain events that happen off stage. The chorus represents the audience and/or the average townspeople where the story happens. Specifically in “Wings” the chorus seems to represent fate . Fate is the idea that the future is predetermined (already set) by a natural order or god.

Minotaur The Minotaur is half man and half bull. He was born from King Minos’ wife as a punishment for Minos disobeying the gods. It is an unnatural being and therefore eats man as its food. The Minotaur lives within Daedalus’ labyrinth .

“Pride” and “Proud” Pride is the major theme of the story of Daedalus and “Wings.” Pride and Proud describe an emotion that can have 2 meanings. Think about your understanding of the words and attempt to describe how it can describe emotion in both positive and negative ways. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Quote examples of foreshadowing from “Wings.” Find one example referring to birds and the sky, one from the chorus and one of Daedalus’ actions. Copy the quote, label the page number and label who is speaking. 2. Write 3 short paragraphs explaining how Daedalus’ pride led to his exile, the death of his son, Icarus, and a war between Crete and Sicily.

3. Think back to “The Flying Machine” and the inventor in that story. Is this inventor more similar to Daedalus or Icarus? Explain using specific examples from the stories.

Gerunds and Infinitives Gerund – is (verb + ING). We use gerunds as nouns, so it is different from the Continuous Verb T enses. A gerund can be a subject , direct object or object of a preposition. A gerund can have its own object object. Playing music is fun. Her singing is beautiful. I’m going shopping . Let’s go skiing . We’re talking about writing in English. Infinitive – is (to + verb). An infinitive can be the subject or direct object. An infinitive can have its own object. To learn guitar is difficult. To talk annoys the teacher. He learned to play well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sometimes you can use either a gerund or an infinitive… I like to do homework. I like doing homework. Voting is important. To vote is important. but sometimes they mean different things. We stopped to play football with T. Paul. We stopped playing football at 5:00. He stopped eating to run around the field. He went to eat after playing football in P.E.

Plot – is the cause and effect sequence of events in a story. Plot includes every action/event in a story whether it affects conflict or not. Conflict – is the character’s main problem that he/she must solve. The conflict has 5 parts: background/exposition, rising action, climax, resolving action, results Exposition – is most common at the beginning of the text and explains the plot and conflict’s background, setting, and history of the characters. The author gives information to the reader so that the reader can identify characters, recognize time, place and situation and will understand character motives during the plot/conflict. It can occur in later parts of the plot/conflict to advance the time forward without the author explaining event by event. Protagonist – is the main character in a story. The plot and conflict center around the protagonist. The author intends the reader to connect most to the protagonist.

Analyze the exposition of the story. Choose 3 of the characters and interpret their personalities based on their introduction to the reader by exposition. Use quotes from the story and predict how the characters might act throughout the conflict.

Vocab – p. 265 - 266 drama – is a type of fiction that actors perform on stage or film for an audience.

Scene – a series of action in a play/film Setting the scene – gives details about the time and place of the scene and tells what characters are doing before the action begins. It helps the reader imagine what is happening by creating a mental picture. Stage directions – notes in a script that tell how characters should act (what they do while talking) and how they should feel (emotion.) They also tell about costumes and scenery. The stage directions & setting the scene replace the narrator in a script.

symbol – is an object, character or idea that represents something other than itself. The purpose of a symbol is for the reader to infer/figure out a greater meaning and context for the symbol as it shows importance to the characters and theme of the story. For example, in “The Flying Machine,” the emperor’s music box symbolizes/represents his control over China. The Minotaur symbolizes/represents the pride of King Minos since the gods cursed Minos for disobedience. Then he hides the Minotaur in the labyrinth because he cannot deal with his problem. This shows that Minos had too much pride to follow the gods’ orders and that he cannot admit his mistake. In “An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge,” the painful ticking of Peyton’s watch represents that he has little time left before his execution.

Peter  scored  a goal. The Passive Voice is used when what receives/feels the action is most important. Usually what does the action is not important or not even mentioned.

The Minotaur symbolizes/represents the pride of King Minos since the gods cursed Minos for disobedience. Then he hides the Minotaur in the labyrinth because he cannot deal with his problem.
