I read over your journals this morning as well as your plot summaries for the film Gran Torino. As a result, I stressed to the class that "a lot" is TWO words (I am still seeing it put together as one word in journals); the pronoun "I," whether used as part of a contraction (eg: "I've" for "I have") or not, MUST be capitalized.
I also handed out Symbols questions and Images questions to look at.
I then had the students do the following:
On a sheet of paper, write down the following:
The Edmonton Journal Of Mice and Men
“Man Fights Legislation” The Simpsons
The Taming of The Shrew Night
“The Lottery” Harry Potter
“Mary Had a Little Lamb” “The Raven”
The Glass Menagerie Animal Farm
Life is Beautiful American Pie
The Lovely Bones Romeo and Juliet
The Lord of The Rings Lord of the Flies
“Miss Brill “ “The Painted Door”
Then, in brackets to the right, put down what kind of literature each is.

Now, either put quotation marks around them or underline them.
