First and sixth periods completed yesterday’s work with Schaffer paragraphs about alliteration in “Silver.” We’ll be continuing the poetry unit after the break.
Second and fourth periods completed the poetry unit. All that’s lacking is the final project: the sonnet.
Seventh period worked on their own poetry.
Homework
Unfortunately, I’m not kidding — not for second and fourth periods, which have three things to complete over the break, maybe four, conceivably five:
- Go over “The Ballad of Birmingham” assignment.
- Complete the sonnet. The rubric is here. Make sure you download and use this template for your sonnet (it is in Word and Open Document formats in this zip file).
- Complete the “Works Cited” page for the Mockingbird unit.
- Begin preparing for the midterm exam, using the study guide.
- Work on the assignment to raise your tone vocabulary quiz grade.
For the Works Ctied page do we have to include all the things it says on the website, or just the five things you listed on your page?
You have to include all the information about the web sites you can find. Some things will be difficult if not impossible to figure out about the page (often the author isn’t evident, for example), but much of it should be readily available. Since you only have to do it for the three or four web sites, it shouldn’t take you more than twenty or thirty minutes.
Is The draft and works cited all due by Monday? Also can i come in early Monday to ask you a question about the sonet?
