Structure!!

On your Hamlet essays, many of you are lacking definite structure. Here's a rough format to follow:

• INTRODUCTION -- Thematic statement
• BODY (2-3 paragraphs)
• Topic sentence
• Quote
• Commentary
• transition word
• Quote
• Commentary
• transition sentence
• CONCLUSION
• What did you prove? End with a universal statement.

Outline Forum

Hi all! To emphasize the importance of working alongside your classmates to get a dynamite outline, I've opened this forum for you all. Please use the comments section to solicit feedback from your classmates (and me, occassionally) on all parts of your outline progress. Also, feel free to call/text/email/tweet each other about the assignment. I know it's hard!

Period 4 Non-Readers!

Someone asked me to post your discussion questions online, so here goes: 

How does the beginning of this relationship differ from the other two? What is the significance of this difference? Has there been a shift in Janie's characterization since meeting Tea Cake? Why or why not?

Your response should be one page in length. It is due Monday. 

Quiz Grade Replacement

I know that a lot of you were concerned about your grades on quizzes. The following assignments will, if done correctly and  turned in on time, replace quiz grades that you are unhappy about. The analysis should be no longer than one page and should include textual evidence. Good Luck!

These replacement assignments are due on Monday, December 5th during your class period. The changed grade will not be reflected on Friday's Progress Report.

Chapter 6 quiz  ---

Chapter 7-8 quiz --- 
           Analyze the repeated use of Jody's favorite expression, "I God." Why is this phrase significant? What clues does it give us about Jody's character.
