American Literature Periods 1, 3, 4

1.       If you did not complete your Summer Reading Assignment, please obtain a copy from me.
     1.  Read, highlight and annotate “The Magic of TheFamily Meal” by Nancy Gibbs. Complete a SOAPS Sheet and an academic summary using academic verbs.
3  2. Write 20 sentences using the academic verbs on the front board or on your academic verbs sheet.
4.       Thanksgiving Times provides time for us to reconnect with family. During the Thanksgiving Break, you will make an appointment with a family member and you will conduct an interview with them. You will record the interview using your phone. Your interview will be either about the Thanksgiving season, or what they feel America stands for, or are they still proud to be American? Think about and WRITE down several questions. Remember the four important tips—
a.       Your question should be about an important subject
b.      Ask open-ended questions to keep the conversation going.
c.       Follow-up with more questions (which means you must pay attention!)
d. You should ask your interviewee approximately 8-10 big idea question, enough to produce a conversation between twenty to thirty minutes. 
6.     3. Complete the Study Sync Assignment--American Literature &History to 1800. 

7.       When we return, we will finish up the Puritans and begin with the Enlightenment and A Raisin in the Sun
