American Lit. PERIOD 1

Many of you did not return to obtain the letter for your parents. The film can not be shown without 100% of students returning the attached form.  Print out the form, have your parent sign, and return it to school on Monday. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Js1UOFdQR-Bp6tgB9gPNSD_7Mnybentp/view?usp=sharing  If I do not have your form, I will not show the film, and must show an alternate.
2. As all students know, your rough draft and final draft of your Student Declaration of Independence is due on Wednesday at the beginning of the school day.

American Literature Period 3, 4

All American Literature classes will compose an Individual, Unique Declaration of Independence, modelled after the original.  Your FINAL draft must include the first two paragraphs modelled after the original, with a list of at least 15 grievances using academic language.  No late papers are accepted. No emailed papers are accepted.  Your Final Draft is due when you arrive to class on the date of your Final Exam: Tuesday, December 12th. 
In addition, you will also take a short exam which includes an in-class essay on Speech to the Virginia Convention or Sinners in The Hands of An angry God. Please be prepared and bring a copy of the text you would like to use to class.
