English Literature Update

I have graded all aspects of the research paper and returned the grades to the students.  They are recorded on progress reports that go out on Friday, March 28.

We have begun GULLIVER'S TRAVELS.  It is a unit on satire.  We will be comparing the literature of the 1700's to current issues.  This will take us up to Spring Break.  Following Spring Break, we will hit Romanticism, a Modern Unit, and a new novel study.

I am giving the students an option of a Extra Credit Project.  There are numerous opportunities for them to boost their grades with this option.  I will send it home, March 28.

American Literature Update

March 27 - Romanticism test.  The students may use all of their notes.  They have a list of everything for review.

April 1 - Final Research Paper due - It includes the outline, paper, works cited and all of their graded process assignments on the paper.  I gave everyone an envelope and a checklist.

March 31- April 4 - We will begin the next unit.  It is long and will take about three weeks.  We will also be reading THE GREAT GATSBY  afte spring break.
