TODAY IN CLASS
But today you got a break from thinking hard about classic stories from British Lit. By looking at three very different personal essays, I hope you have a better feel for what DOESN'T work. I'm going to add a 4th essay later that we'll assess together, and compare/contrast it with the one that nearly all groups chose as the most effective.
If you were absent today, you will need to pick up two hand-outs from the second shelf. (BTW, hand-outs always have cover sheets with the date--make sure you are picking up the intended work.) READ the three essays, and make notes on strengths and weaknesses, and indicate which one you think is best. You don't need to write up anything separately. But you DO need to fill out the second hand-out, which was the homework.
FOR TOMORROW
Look up the essays on the website provided on the hand-out: http://www.teenink.com/
Skim over them and select one essay to focus on. You don't need to print it out unless it's easier to do it that way.
Fill out the chart you received in class carefully and completely. Don't forget the title!!
They will be collected on Friday.
