Today we... Listened to final presentations if there were any left (and took awesome notes!) Read about Washington Irving (see PDF below).
We quickly answered the following questions about Irving and made sure these were stored in our AM Lit folder in Google Drive.
Then we started reading Washington Irving's short story, "Rip Van Winkle."
Today we...
Presented our group Romanticism projects, and watched our classmates present as well. Follow-up coming soon! Today we...
Had the opportunity to revise/improve/enhance our presentations on Romanticism. Remember, this is a presentation project, not just a poster project. Have a look at the rubric again to make sure you are fulfilling all of the components. All groups and presentations must be ready to go tomorrow, Tuesday. Presentations made after this time may not be able to receive full credit. (When in doubt about something, come and talk to Mrs. Hopkins!!) Today we... Did the first of a series of SAT essay practices. These must be submitted into your American Lit folder in Google Drive. Please see the assignment document below to download. American Literature SAT Essay Practice #1 Friday, December 12, 2014 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Many people believe that our behavior should be consistent, that we should always be ourselves. They feel that we should not act one way with some people and another way with others. But is this right? Should our behavior always be consistent, or should we behave differently in different situations? Isn't behaving differently according to the people we are with or the situation we are in simply a matter of politeness and common sense? Assignment: Should people change their behavior depending on what situation they are in? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

We will also have time in class tomorrow to complete our work.
Today we... Evaluated our own synthesis paragraphs using a rubric for literary paragraphs (rubric below). We also did the following... On the back of the rubric:
**Why is it late/missing? **Did I talk with Mrs. Hopkins beforehand? Why or why not?
**What are you going to do about this assignment? **CAN you do anything, or do you need to accept your zero grade? **What are you going to do in the future to ensure you turn in all of your assignments? **What should the consequence be if you continue to not turn in your work? We do not have any homework today.
