Congratulations on your excellent USSR results. You read like demons this morning which is fantastic. Your Shelfari responses are due this Sat. by midnight. Four people asked for extensions. Please make a note of your individual deadlines so that you can make the deadline. Appreciate your contributions.
We had a quiz on the first 12 words.
I handed out the literary essay/quote log assignment.
Typed, double spaced first draft is due Wed. Jan. 25. You must have the essay completed and printed out BEFORE arriving to class in order to get an editing mark. If you cannot meet this deadline, let me know well in advance.
Final copy of the quote log and the essay are due Friday, Jan. 25.
Today we began chose a topic and committed to arriving to class Wed. with our 9 to 12 quotations / passages chosen.
We will work on the responses to the quotations on Wednesday and Friday. The entire quotation log must be finished by next Thurs. Jan. 19th. Bring the quote log to class on the 19th and bring three different coloured highlighters to class in order to turn the log into a brilliant thesis statement.
HMMM.... Writing quotation logs and essays is an incredible creative exercise. When I read your essay, I will see the novel in a new light--through your eyes! The idea here is to come up with an intriguing and thought-provoking answer to either question 1 or 2.
It was interesting to see that half the class chose 1 and the other half chose 2.
What does your choice say about you?
AHHHH!! Loving the English 10As!
