English 9: Period 3

Wonderful work today. Notice how much you can get done when you concentrate and don't disturb others!

Tonight: You can take the night off if you have completed the introduction, body 1 and body 2 paragraphs and you feel you have read the required pages for USSR. It is almost half way through May so you should be onto your second or third book by now.

Your essay is due Tuesday so plan your time.

I want to see strong sentences, accurate vocabulary, and A LOT of elaboration in the body paragraphs after each quotation.

Also, be sure to use type # 3 to integrate the quotation as it is more sophisticated and you get extra marks for style when you use this type.

Use words from our vocabulary list and from the novel, too, as Farley's diction is quite elevated throughout the novel. Re-read chapter 1 for ideas!
