March 1, 2022

 Hello! Here's what we're up to today:

English 12

  • Checking in
  • Recap yesterday
  • Time for discussion on Ukraine
  • Reviewing Assignment 2. What I'm expecting:
    • This is the first time I've done an assignment like this, so I'm open to a variety of different responses.
    • I won't be providing an example for this one, because it doesn't feel right with the idea that this is a remarkably individual response to a giant historical question. That being said, I honour that not having clarity on this will cause some anxiety in a year in which your grades are important, and I'll happily give feedback along the way.
    • In general, I look for specificity of language,  so maintaining a consistent focus throughout will be key.
    • Reexamining the General Writing Rubric
    • Would we benefit from another delay? We could say a rough draft is due Thursday, and then good copy Friday, which would give you a chance to check with me on what direction you're heading.
  • Time to jot down ideas for Assignment 2.
  • Literary terms
    • Characterization
    • Dramatic Irony
    • Unreliable Narrator
    • Expanding on thematic statements
  • Freewrite
  • Copies of Presentation Rubric
  • For tomorrow, finish the next section of your novel (note: the Kite Runner presentation will wait until Thursday)
