Your fifth exciting essay is due on Sunday, November 4 at noon and is the same topic we used for the test on Thursday. The essay you submit should reflect substantial revision from the essay you wrote in class unless a) you are incredibly brilliant and or b) you don’t want to have the chance to revise this piece.
The prompt is located in the Downloads folder. Please read it carefully to make sure you meet all of the requirements of the essay.
The exam over Things Fall Apart will be on Thursday. You can read the questions and begin to prepare for it today.
Mark Twain, who traveled all over the world, offered this advice to a young friend:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Even though we may not in the position to heed Twain’s advice and race off to some new corner of the world right now, we can at least do a bit of virtual exploration and dreaming in the form of an amazing English essay in which you will compare and contrast two potential travel destinations and make the case to visit one of the pair.
Your simple outline is due to Mr. Pogreba on Friday, October 26 and the essay is due on Friday, November 2 by 11:00 p.m. Please share it with me using Google Drive.
