English 11: "A Few Notes for Orpheus" question

Choose one of the questions below and respond in your BEST literary paragraph form. Use ALL handouts so that you apply all of the criteria. At this time of the year, really focus on style and insight and assume that you have the format (literary must-haves, citing and quote integration down).

Find good quotations and write and re-write the thesis several times before you begin the paragraph.

Choose number 1 or 2 below. Double space. Type or neatly handwrite.

1. Discuss how our one's assumptions can destroy or inhibit a strong, loving relationship.

2. Examine the problems in Jake's family.

It is almost half way through November. You should have finished at least one book by now for USSR and completed the form. You do not need to hand in the form until the end of the month. If you need help choosing a new book, let me know. You may use Lord of the Flies as one of your entries, if you did not use it last month.

I'LL BE AWAY THURS. AND FRI. BUT YOU MUST ATTEND AS WE WILL BE STARTING CREATIVE WRITING AND THERE WILL BE TWO ASSIGNMENTS DUE, ONE FRIDAY AND ONE ON MONDAY. You'll have fun. I won't have your full story due Monday since you will need more time. I will introduce the assignment on Monday.

YOUR para. from today may also be handed in on Monday. (i.e. one of the questions above)

It will be really hard to make up Thursday's and Friday's classes as they are experiential. You need to be there to experience it. I've given Ms. Moray key lessons. Enjoy.

I won't be updating the blog now as I won't have internet access.
