We'll be reading in class from now on (so be sure to bring your library book!); you should also be reading for about 20-40 minutes a day at home. If you don't like the book you chose, please let me know and we'll find you a new one.

This week we'll continue our quest to answer the question, "What makes good writing good?", by creating a Writing Rubric and by the end of the week I will return your in-class write to you. Please BRING YOUR LIBRARY BOOK to class from now on as we'll have silent reading most days. you should also be reading for about 30-40 minutes a day at home. If you don't like the book you chose, please let me know and we'll find you a new one.
English 11 Pre-AP
If you're going on the Loon Lake Trip, please read "The Story of an Hour" and make notes as to your thoughts on the story. What is your interpretation? What do you think of the characters? What about their motivations?
Then, after you've got your interpretations down on paper (in note form) ask 3 people in your life - not students at Rockridge - about their thoughts on the story. Take notes as to their interpretations (don't lead their thinking!).
Bring all sets of notes to class on Thursday.
If you're NOT going to Loon Lake, relax this weekend. We'll be doing this in class on Tuesday.
