Attention all classes:
Your independent reading projects are due Monday by the time you get to class. All late assignments will be considered at 50%, then minus an additional 10% per additional day it is late. They will be entered by the end of the grading period. If you still are unsure of your options, check here.
Periods 1 and 2:
The final day of Anglo-Saxon research project presentations is today. We will be moving on to a new unit on Monday. You may return Beowulf to the library at your convenience.
Periods 3 and 4:
We will start the period with five minutes to reflect on yesterday's TED Talk.
After, I have the privilege of introducing you to the rhetorical patterns of developments (modes) which, I believe, is one of the most important concepts for you to understand and own as a reader and writer because it will allow you to break from writing formulaicly and think strategically.
After introducing you with these Slides, we use Bruno Mars' song "When I Was Your Man" to identify the multiple modes Mars uses in the song (in order to understand that, although we may attempt to write for a purpose using one "mode," they really overlap.
If absent, view Slides and attempt to annotate the Bruno Mars piece here.
Period 6:
Visual Memoir Evaluation:
Even if you are not done yet, please complete the VISUAL MEMOIR EVALUATION FORM on the Classroom.
MONDAY: (Don't read this yet!)
On Monday we will be going on an adventure. You will need your student ID.
Under no circumstances can you beg, or even bribe me to tell you where we are going.
Even if you bring us cookies we still won't tell.
What do you need to bring?
Reminders:
The grading period ends next week.
Book project due Monday.
If you are presenting your memoir next week be sure to practice.
