Your work for this week consists of two threads:
Poetry Out Loud:
Memorize poem #1 and practice your performance for block day. You will receive feedback on the following criteria:
Voice and Articulation
Physical Presence
Dramatic Appropriateness
Evidence of Understanding
Overall Performance
Accuracy
Poem #2 is due on block day: January 8th or 9th. If you are interested in the school-wide competition, please sign up with me by Friday, January 3rd.
Literary Research Project:
Remember that second novel, the one you vowed to begin earlier in the process to avoid late night stress? Hopefully, you are well on your way with it. If not, there is no time like the present to begin. Your work for this novel includes:
Annotations
Literary Analysis chart
Flash fiction assignment: Culling from your wisdom in reading two books by your author, construct a
“short short” story where you imitate the style of your writer, using some of
his or her signature “moves”. Length: no more than 1,000 words. In addition, please include a process paragraph on how you
chose to imitate the author. Pay careful attention to diction and syntax.
These three assignments are due on Friday, January 3.
