Honors English 11 (D)
- Today in class, we identified some "working themes" that you might examine for your essay. You are all in different places in the process--some of you might have a full idea, while others might still be working to develop a topic. Wherever you are, here's your homework:
- Choose a passage from one of the Sherman Alexie poems that you think might be useful for you in developing your topic.
- Look at it closely--annotate it, look up words, focus on word choice and order. Use the yellow sheet from class to give you ideas of what to look for.
- Write about how the passage connects to your thesis idea.
- Remember, this assignment should take you about 15-20 minutes. If you're done in two, go back and look for more! Look at smaller details! Look up more words! And/or, pick a new passage to work with.
- Read your independent book!
