Honors English 11
- As I shared with you on our weekly agenda, this week is Gatsby essay writing week! Each day, we'll hold a writing workshop, in which we'll discuss an aspect of your papers that you'll then examine in your writing groups. Here's the break-down:
- Tuesday: Thesis statements
- Wednesday: Topic statements, argument organization
- Thursday: Proof and analysis
- Friday: Introductions and conclusions
- For each day, make sure that you come prepared for class having completed the sections of the essay that we'll be workshopping.
- Next week (Monday for Block 1, Tuesday for Block 3) is full draft workshop day. On that day, you'll bring in your draft, which will be read and commented on by your classmates in your writing group. Your final drafts will be due later that week...by Thursday for Block 1, by Friday for Block 3.

- We finished reading Frankenstein! Quite a story, eh?
- (If you didn't finish Frankenstein, you're going to want to go ahead and do that.)
- We started your Theme Triangle projects. Tonight, your job is to identify a topic, and pull evidence from one of the texts (either Frankenstein or the TED Talk).
- A reminder: You can choose to work with one of these three TED Talks (look back at your Cornell Notes for each talk to help you decide):
- "It's Time to Question Bio-Engineering" by Paul Root Wolpe
- "To This Day" by Shane Koyczan
- "Following Instinct" by Amaryllis Fox
- Here's the photo of the triangle organizer that you're using to develop your essay and presentation. Remember, the steps are listed in order down the left-hand side:
