Your next writing assignment is a creative response to To Kill a Mockingbird, with the prompts you can choose from located here.
Everyone should complete at least one of the assigned tasks, but you can receive extra credit for completing a second one.
The assignment is due on Wednesday, April 13.
Your third essay is due on Friday, March 25 in class and should be over the topic of marijuana legalization or the Confederate flag. The essay is due in class on Friday. If you are leaving early for break, you will need to make arrangements to submit the essay to me before leaving.
There are packets of research included for both topics, and you will need to do some additional outside research. Please do not wait until the last minute to complete this assignment, as you will find it quite challenging to complete it in one night. If you divide up the paragraphs the way we have discussed the rest of the quarter, you should be able to easily write one paragraph each night and have the assignment done quite easily.
This post will have the Works Cited information for the articles I provided here by Monday evening.
If you’d like to listen while you read To Kill a Mockingbird, this web site has downloads of the entire book, divided by chapter, available for download.
The revisions of the college essay will be due on Monday, March 14 in class. Please plan to attach all the previous drafts and forms to your final, printed copy, which will be due at the beginning of class.
We’ll review these elements in class over the next few days to ensure that your revisions are improved.
TUESDAY: Thesis Statements, Topic Sentences, Introductions
WEDNESDAY: The 8 Sentence Paragraph Format
THURSDAY: Embedding Quotations, Works Cited Page, Paraphrasing
FRIDAY: Colloquial language and writing errors.
We will have a final exam over the podcast Serial on Monday. The test will require you to answer five paragraphs from the following questions. To prepare for the exam, I would recommend making an outline for each and studying that. Be prepared for the exam on Monday! Good luck!
