English 11: Poetry . . . . Personal Essay is due tomorrow . . .

Submit: the good copy, the peer-edited draft, the personal essay checklist which is in your package, your MLA style Works Cited page (in alphabetical order using hanging indentation). If you were absent today, call you homework buddy for explanations.

Vocabulary Test is Thursday. Study.

We studied and discussed and took notes and wrote a thesis statement on Lorna Crozier's poem, "The Child Who Walks Backwards".  Get a copy of the poem and the notes from a peer. You can find the poem on-line.

Also, we read 15 pages of our independent novel. You must have the novel read by Monday, Jan. 26th. Have twenty-five post-it notes on the appearance vs reality theme so you will be ready to discuss the novel and create a modest quotation log.
