- Read your independent book!
Honors English 11 (D)
- Star essay revisions! Remember, all essays have room to grow; all benefit from feedback and patient revision. (Remember that example essay I showed you in class? Yikes!)
- We'll work on revisions tomorrow in class...make sure you bring your questions!
- Read your independent book!
English 11 (F)
- Project prep: In class today, you should have identified a theme idea. The theme should be a message that is present in Alexie's work, Malala's story, and another story of your choosing (movie, book, biography, TV show, current event). For Friday, complete your triangle organizer by filling in specific details from each story that help support the theme. For each text, you should have 5-10 details (quotations, specific events, character details).
- In class on Friday, you'll write! Make sure you're prepared with a thoughtfully completed triangle organizer.
- Here's the article that I talked about in class today, where John Elder Robison resigned his roles at Autism Speaks because he didn't agree with their classification of autism as "a problem." There are some interesting potential thematic connections with Alexie and Malala--refusing to view challenges as inherently problematic, and a desire to live life beyond labels, to name a couple.
