All English Classes

Gm students! I am expiring technical difficulties and intermittent internet outages at my home, probably because of the wind.  As a result, I am grading all of your paper assignments--SOAPS, reflections, MC tests, journals I didn't score and writing your grade on the assignment. These scores may not be uploaded into Schoology until later this evening or early tomorrow morning. 

H American Literature Period 2

H. American Literature Period 2: On Monday, you will have a non-traditional exam.  Why? Because you have successfully met or been introduced to the learning targets of literary analysis (through your: Character Analysis Essay; your Analysis Questions and Reading Journals); you have been introduced to creating questions to demonstrate comprehension by completing an entire student generated exam). Consequently, you will have a brief exam on Monday, followed by an opportunity to discuss themes of the text and practice with thesis writing. We then will have time to finish Mock Trial Prep. To that end, please finish viewing Law and Order Facia e Facia on your own. Pay attention to the plot, the names of the lawyers and the legal-ese--the terminology that the actors use. I may include five or six question on the exam for tomorrow!
