Welcome back! I am really looking forward to the second half of the year. We have a novel (Gatsby), a play (Raisin in the Sun), and several themed units with many collections of shorter essays and passages.
NOTE: If you've fallen behind or have any missing work, you can turn in
work for first semester up through January 13 for partial credit.
WEDNESDAY: Journal warm-up. Go over first semester schedule/announcements. Pass back in-class argument essays and go over results. View another College Board argument prompt and various responses and rate them.

Homework: Turn in textbook, vocabulary book and/or The Grapes of Wrath if you haven't done so already.
FRIDAY: Journal warm-up. Rewrite your weakest paragraph. The Declaration of Independence as an argument - good for evidence, examples also. Receive study guide for final, vocab sheet for next week (last vocab sheet of the semester), and rhetorical analysis practice essay prompt for homework. Study Guide Group Activity.
