*We will revisit irony this week with Shirley Jackson's short story "Charles" about a kindergartener who creates an imaginary student, his scapegoat, so he can tell his parents about his antics at school.
We will be focusing on the cause and effect situations presented in the story and will look at specific key words that help to signal cause and effect relationships.
We'll take another look at fallacious reasoning as well as conjunctions and interjections.
