English 12A: Today we began our first major writing assignment, a college application essay. We listened to a brief segment of This American Life about some common application essay pitfalls, chose a couple of potential prompts and made notes on two of them, studied some good advice in regards to writing, and looked at a great example. Homework is: read for 20 minutes; review the prompts; add to your notes on two of them.
English Honors 9A: Today we began a study of close reading, annotation, and short stories. We read "Lamb to the Slaughter," annotated it for four literary devices and three questions, and will discuss it tomorrow. Homework is: read for 20 minutes, review the story, complete your annotations.
