Homework for B-Day Students: 12/17/2013

Honors English II

I hope that our revision and review of the argument statements was useful for all of you.  Many of you were able to take the instructions and tips I gave you and turn them immediately into strong and persuasive argument statements.  Once you've received an "all clear" from me then you can move on to the next phase of your essay which is annotating specific panels and collecting your "research".  Remember that you can only do this once you know what you're trying to prove, so that as you annotate and pull out details you keep that larger point in mind.

The draft of your essay will be due when you return from break - not the 6th of January, but the 8th - our second day back.  Keep this in mind.

For tonight, you should prepare for next class's open-note quiz on Persepolis.  Study and review tonight.  Make sure to look over the text and check that your notes are complete as these are all you will be able to use on the quiz.

ESL English III

You also have a quiz next class on grammar, vocabulary, and your writing skills.  I'm looking forward to seeing how much you've grown in all of these areas in this class so far.  Study your journals and your notebooks to prepare for this assessment.
