Happy Thursday, all! We had a thorough day reviewing some of our main concepts related to rhetorical analysis, appeals, and situations. I was happy to see the way in which a lot of us have grown as readers and analyzers, even in this quick time we've had to start the year. I'm glad to see that so many of you enjoyed reading James Baldwin - we'll be seeing more of him through the year.
Over the weekend, be sure to complete your NoRedInk Diagnostic - you'll be getting full credit for completion. This will help to guide our grammar work through the year. Also remember that Writing Diagnostic resubmissions are due on Monday. Highlight changes/updates so that I can see your improvements more quickly.
Our next unit will focus on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. We'll be looking at some shorter pieces and essays to begin our work before jumping into the novel, but be sure that you're ready with a copy of the book soon!
English 10
Today in class we had our first workshop on our final project - My Personal Culture. Remember that the goal of this project is to learn more about your cultural background but also to find ways that you're different and have made yourself into an individual. This project is due on 10/26 at the end of the quarter.
Remember that next week we'll begin our study of graphic novels and our first major book Persepolis. If you didn't get a copy from school and need one, I'll be there to help you from 1-3 on Monday at Fairfax High School.
This weekend is a great weekend to submit any and all missing work from Unit 1. Since we're moving on, I won't be able to take work for much longer. Be sure that anything which says "MISSING" on Google Classroom or SIS is complete and submitted. I'll get it rescored by the end of Monday. If you want a new grade on your essay, do be sure to submit those this weekend so that I can reread them and score them.
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns. I'm here to help, always!
