I collected the USSR forms and checked post-it notes. You need to be at 175 by Monday. Tuesday: We will start writing the essay.
This weekend: Get the novel read by Jan. 19th which means you need to figure out how much to read. You will have 90 minutes of class time during USSR so balance the rest of the novel out to be read at home.
We start poetry next week and exam preparation.
You will be writing an essay on your independent novel, comparing it to at least one other novel, play, or short story read this year as preparation for the exam.
Be sure to choose strong, evocative passages that demonstrate the appearance versus reality theme and decide what the point of these two different viewpoints is.
Vocab: We added two more words today opiate and pandemic. We had two essays presented today so be sure to get the notes from a friend if you were absent.
