Be ready with your reading everyone! You never know when the coin toss won't be in your favor!
English IV
Today we began class by looking at gender roles and gender expectations from an excerpt of The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. The next unit is focused on gender roles and expectations, so it's a bit of a jumping off point for us. Then we went to the lab to begin typing our rough drafts of our "This I Believe" Essays. We will continue to work on these through the week. Be sure that you are keeping your belief at the core of the essay. How did you learn this? Why is it important? Where and when did you learn it?
Remember that with personal writing you really want to tell a story - so tell us a story, and describe it all!
