Happy New Year!
It's 2015 and you are almost halfway through your senior year! Midterm exams begin on Thur Jan 15. Information regarding the format of our midterm exam will be discussed this week. While our exam is not like many other exams (you will be required to read, think, write and apply skills) you CAN and SHOULD spend time preparing in order to do your best.
This week and next, we will be composing a final written piece on Beloved, a "They Say / I Say" essay which asks you to synthesize a researched criticism or analysis of the novel with your own thinking. We will be workshopping this piece in class this week so that you will have a chance to conference with me and with classmates on your ideas and writing. If you will require substantial individual conferencing, you'll want to make an appointment with me in advance.
Due date for this piece is Wed Jan 14.
