Week of February 23rd.....

AP Literature:
Students should be working on their:

  • Invisible Man Research Paper
  • Reading Invisible Man
Students should be ready to give me an almost completed outline for their research on Friday the 27th. If students need extra help, they should see me after school. 

Honors American Literature: 
Students are wanting to complete some re-writes of previous written assignments. They may rewrite anything they have written in this class because I want them to LEARN! I know I do grade harshly, but it is only to make them better writers and to prepare them for their future. All rewrites are due by February 27th. They can rewrite the research paper, the Romantic Poetry Response and/or their All the Pretty Horses Response #1. 

Students should be reading All the Pretty Horses and write their 2nd journal by Friday, February 27th. If they need any help, they can always come after school and ask any questions they may have. 

In class, we will be discussing the tenants of Transcendentalism, Emerson and Thoreau. 

Regular American Literature: 
We will continue our discussion of Romanticism and Transcendentalism in reference to Into the Wild. The students are doing a great job relating the themes of the novel to other works and to themselves.
