American Lit. for August 6-10

Post date: Aug 05, 2018 9:17:22 PM

Here's a quick look at the week ahead:

We will start to examine the concept of the American Dream this week, our first unit's theme, by looking at a variety of poems, essays, images, songs, video clips, etc. You will have two assignments to complete outside of class for this unit:

1) By Tuesday, bring an item, picture, etc. that in some way relates to your personal dreams, goals, hopes, ambitions, aspirations, etc. All you need to do is bring something to class. You'll complete a brief writing assignment about it in class.

2) Complete the American Dream interview activity. I'll give you more information regarding this in class.

We will also begin work on some grammatical concepts based on the results of the pretest most of you took last week. Again, more details will follow in class.
