Honors English 12 (G)
- In class today, I handed out an article called "The Stranger in the Photo is Me." This essay is a model for your final personal essay. Read it, and make notes about the essay--WHAT is the author saying about his life, and HOW is he saying it (what specific language/words does he use)? We'll talk about this essay in class tomorrow. (You can find it here, if you weren't in class today. It's the first couple pages...you can ignore the questions...)
- Read your independent book!
