English 12: Welcome Back . . .

We are finishing the personal essay unit today. Tomorrow, we start our novel.

We have also started USSR so please pick a book you haven't read from the Book Club shelf in the libary. Read daily. Enjoy it. You don't have to post-it note it or write an essay on it but you do have to read it, enjoy it, learn from it, increase your reading speed, discover a new author, etc. YAY.

Our next novel is the famous one, (voted best book of the 20th century) called The Outsider, sometimes translated as The Stranger, by Albert Camus, translated from the French. YOU WILL LOVE IT. IT WILL MAKE YOUR THINK.

WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND READ IT, SHE QUIT SCHOOL.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I returned the essays, quote logs, and the narrative essays today. I'll mark the satirical essays and return them to you by Wed.

If you have not submitted the satirical essay, please do.
