Shifting Gears

English 12
Reminder that we have a quiz on Monday. It focuses on all the literary terms, shorts stories and poems we had not covered during our first quiz.
Below are two links that I shared with you in Friday's class:
Advice to a Prophet

As we close the chapter on Peace and Conflict...

English 12
There is still a little left for you to do.
Analyze the two poems Guns and Vergismeinnicht (pages 959 &960) and in a well-written paragraph response, determine which is the superior poem and state why. Use quotes, have a good topic and concluding sentence.
Lastly, we have a quiz on Monday so go ahead and study up for that.

(Updated) They Gave their Lives so You could Enjoy Yours: Nov. 11

Eng 12

Oh, please don't let me interrupt you from writing your 1984 Essay. We both know that is due Tuesday.

Alicia requested the rubric for this essay. HERE it is for anybody else who is interested. Thanks, Alicia.

AAAlso, Alicia shared a comic with me that I thought must be shared with all of you. It compares 1984 with Brave New World. In the past I have assigned 'Brave' in a Lit Circle. Perhaps you will read it yourselves one day. You needn't read it to enjoy and understand the COMIC though.
