Juniors:
Today's class went well, I hope that the review of the Mary Rowlandson piece helped your understanding of some of the pivotal moments within that text. To prepare for Monday's class I would like for you to complete the reading of the excerpted narrative of Oluadah Equiano in the textbook. Please read the whole thing. It's broken into two pieces - and it may be helpful for you to break the reading up into these two pieces.
As you read, take note of interesting passages and ideas - always annotate! Also, pay attention to the similarities and differences between Equiano and Rowlandson - their tone, point of view, narrative structure, life experiences, and so on. We will spend Monday going through this story as well as looking at some commonalities between Rowlandson and Equiano.
Don't forget that you have vocabulary cards and bookmarks due tomorrow!
Freshmen:
No homework tonight is required of you - but you should be working on your poetry projects. I'll probably be checking in with you in the next few days to see what you have accomplished. If you have any questions about this project or want help, please come and see me at Monday's study hall.
Have a beautiful afternoon!
