American Literature Period 5

1. Continue on IXL! Kudos to those students who have successfully completed segments especially on Grammar and/or Literary Texts.
2. Select one quote from Chapter 3 and One quote from Chapter 4 of The Narrative of Frederick Douglass. using your journal, and if you were not here, fold a sheet of paper lengthwise, copy the quote, or a portion of it at the top of your paper. Then respond using either a response starter, or simply discuss: why you chose the quote; what it reveals about slavery and slaveholders or slaves; and connections to the present day; and whether it moved you emotionally or logically or both.
On Monday, we are back to Article of the Week; and we will revise essay; and finish coloring our images. .

American Literature Period 4

Dear Students,
To make collecting your original poems for the Living Writers Series much easier, I have created a NEW Email/Google Drive Address.  Please re-read your poems, include a title on them, and your name and school. Then, after spell and stanza checking them, you must email them to englishlit114@gmail.com . Include your name and poem title in the Subject Heading.  All poems that have already been sent to my LAUSD address or uploaded to Schoology MUST be re-emailed to the new address.
