Week at a Glance: March 22 - 26

English 11
  • You will implement useful strategies in the reading of two versions of the story "The Luncheon".
  • Reminder: Each short story should be followed by an entry to your Reflective Journal. The Reflective Journal will be explicitly discussed on Monday and Tuesday.


Writing 12
  • Your memoir and all its drafts are due on Friday this week. You must hand in the following items on Friday - in a folder. Please do not put it in pretty little binders or coutangs. Please use a foler with your name on it. Please put your work into the folder in this order:
    • Final Draft on top (size 12, TIMES NEW ROMAN, 1 inch margins, and DOUBLE SPACED)
    • your Wordle
    • then a series of your rough drafts from most recent to least recent
    • any notes or doddling your did while trying to write your memoir
  • Check the Archives on the blog to see if you have compelted each draft that I have assigned. You must include them ALL in your package. You can print the drafts out in small type, wide margins and single spaced if you want to save paper.
  • As for the class today, if you did not finish the subtle scene assignment, please do so and then email it to me. The subtle scene assignments asks you to write a scene in which you use detail to show the scene rather than outright telling the reader how things are (showing versus telling). Your last line should be an ironic statement. Please email this to me BEFORE FRIDAY.
English 8
  • Dramatic reading of Act 1, sc v. You, and your partner, will choose a portion of the scene for your reading. This portion should be no less than 25 lines and no more than 50. Props are encouraged. The reading rubric provided to you will be the assessment tool. Consider these criterion when you prepare and perform your reading.
