English 12: December 6-10

Hello seniors!

This year is just zipping by. It's hard to believe we have but one week left before midterm week. I have much to do and review with you in the coming days:
  • On Monday we will read and discuss Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This is the oldest known Romance, and in my opinion, one of the most exciting works of its time.
  • We will also review the characteristics of the Ballad as a poetic form. We will read several ballads from your books, so be sure to have them. 
  • We'll also have a quick review of your next lesson in vocabulary, so make sure you have your workbooks handy.
  • On Thursday we'll review the rules for writing in MLA format. I've noted in your papers that a number of you have either forgotten this format or are unfamiliar with it. Every typed paper in English classes should follow this format, as it is what you will be required to use in many of you college classes. 
  • We will also have a vocabulary quiz on Thursday, so study the next lesson.

See you in class.

Mrs. SO
