We had two guests from Writing 12 read to us today, Mitch Cram and Nolan Turcotte. They were wonderful and answered a lot of questions about English options for next year. If you have questions, let me know.
Personal essays are due Monday. Check previous posts for criteria. You should all have received your drafts back from me. I've edited them and they look fabulous. Good luck.
We have read and taken notes on the first two acts. Be prepared to work hard next week.
We'll do an in-class essay in the lab, Tues. Jan. 18. Review for the final exam 19-21.
Exam: You have three hours. Date TBA.
First section: Fiction. Read and respond to a story.
Second section: Poetry. Read two poems and write an excellent compare/contrast paragraph.
Second Three: Course Content Essay. Write an essay to prove a given thesis. You must refer to at least two books, plays, or stories studied this year. You'll need to memorize authors, titles, characters, conflicts and quotes.
