We had two essays presented today. The Allen essay is not in the book so ask me for a copy when you return to class. Remember, when absent, you are still responsible for the creative writing parts of the class so we wrote 400 words today.
We did "Why Be Polite?" and "My Speech to the Graduates".
Tomorrow, We'll be doing a long piece from Sports Illustrated, which is why you need to read half of it tonight.
Thanks.
Essay Unit Open Book Test: Thurs. Dec. 20. Hand in your notes at the end of the test. The test will be asking very specific questions about the essays studied and about the literary terms and their effects so study.
