Here are the notes on some of the major authors from the environmental authors we studied in the Wilderness Unit:
Below is the list of questions that could potentially appear on the Wilderness exam. The test will have two portions: one section in which you identify the author of a passage and one section in which you write fully-developed paragraph responses to four of these questions. For the paragraph portion, plan to write detailed, specific arguments that demonstrate knowledge of the text and our class discussions. During your answers, you will need to make reference to at least seven sources. One of your sources can be Into the Wild.
The Period 4 Test is on Friday. Period 7 test is on Wednesday, during the final period. The Period 2 test will be during the final period on Tuesday. These are not the questions for that test.
The final Honors English III assignments are due on Tuesday, May 31 in class or before. You may choose from either of the assignments here. For each, make sure that you proofread carefully and spend enough time on your essay to fix any of the common errors that have plagued your papers from the beginning of the year.
- Option 1: Short Story About Loss
- Option 2: What is An American?
- Option 3: Chief Seattle Letter Emulation
DO NOT BE LATE WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT. DO NOT. DO NOT.
Your last writing assignment for the year is to write a letter emulating the Letter from Chief Seattle to President Pierce. It will be due on Friday in class or Sunday, May 29th at 1:00 p.m. if you submit it electronically via Google Drive.
