American Lit. for Nov. 9-13

Post date: Nov 08, 2015 7:28:28 PM

Here's an overview of the coming week:

***Our assessment over Romanticism is on Monday. Be sure you are able to complete the various tasks outlined on the review guide I gave you when given a poem or image you have not seen before.

Our Georgia Milestones End-of Course test will be given on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, December 1, 2, & 3. We will start completing some review activities that should assist you with this as part of our routine for the next two weeks.

We introduce a new unit this week, based on John Steinbeck's short novel Of Mice and Men. I will check out copies of the book to you, but I have also attached a PDF of the full text below.

Before reading the book, we will complete centers connected to the Great Depression, the setting of the book. As we read, we will connect the book to the idea of the American Dream, something we focused on as the semester began. You should anticipate some reading homework over the next two weeks.

Having completed ten units of vocabulary, we will not have any more vocabulary homework or quizzes this semester.
