Today and tomorrow...more words

Today in class, we went through a peer rubric to edit down our 400 wordy words.

You can find it here.

We also shared our essays.

Tomorrow, I'm out.  You will work to make your essay simpler, utilizing the suggestions of your peers.  It needs to be 100-150 words maximum.

You will also read and annotate the story, "Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway.  I will check both on Friday.

See you then!

Words, words, words...

Today we read Chuck Klosterman's ruminations on the value of "knowing" Harry Potter.

I also asked you to write your own wordy, 400-word (or more!) version of this.

Tomorrow, you will let another human in our class read your pop-culture wordiness.  Be ready...

Prom Time!?

Really, though, no.  It's still winter.  Or fall.  Whatever.

Dr. Clarke sent me the link so you can vote for this year's Prom theme.  Click here.  Jr and Sr votes are the only ones that count.  Once only.
