Monday, September 12

Today we continued to focus on close reading and annotation as we read Langston Hughes's "Thank You, M'am." We also read Chapter 2 from How to Read Literature Like a Professor, which you can find here: http://www.evergladeshs.org/ourpages/auto/2015/5/28/58122395/How%20to%20Read%20Literature%20Like%20a%20Professor.pdf

We also focused on how to send an appropriate, formal email. Please see Canvas for details about this assignment at https://canyons.instructure.com/courses/1106145/assignments/7829379. It is due September 19.

We also read two September 11th poems, one titled "Voices" and the other "The Names," both of which can be found here:
