Freshmen: Today we did a close reading of some of EB White's work in Charlotte's Web. You now should be able to use lists, repetition, and a mix of short and complex sentences as a writer. You are to access your Seven Step Essay on turnitin.com, look at the comments, and revise and improve your essay based on the comments. Once you have revised and improved your piece, print it, and on the printed copy, annotate (i.e. write) why you made the improvements that you did. This is due Monday. Also due Monday is your work on Membean and reading everything through page 36 in Of Mice and Men. Keep working on your Grandparent Project Essay, and don't forget your Letter to the Editor is due next week...
Sophomores: Today we did some prep work prior to reading The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. While you revise your essay on The Power of One and finish working on Membean this weekend, also read some of the chapters from How to Read Literature Like a Professor that correspond to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. They are: "Nice to Eat With You," "Marked for Greatness," "He's Blind for a Reason" (this one is critical - read it first), "It's Never Just Heart Disease," "And Rarely Just Illness," and "Now, Where Have I Seen Her Before?"
CNF: Today we continued Hoop Dreams. We'll finish on Monday. You may want to do some research on what happens to William and Arthur post-film.
