Hello APEs!
This week we actually WILL have a quiz on the remaining P words from your SAT vocabulary list!
Also, since Friday is a student holiday, we will only get to meet twice. :'(
Therefore, we must use our time wisely. On Tuesday we will complete our Socratic discussion of the three essays by Langston Hughes that I gave you. On Wednesday we will read a number of Hughes' poems under the lens of his various essays. How do his poems compare with his essays? Can you see the same progression in his poems that is evident in his essays? What really is the significance of social poetry?
Your "big" paper for the year will be a synthesis/research paper on Hughes' essays, poetry, and an outside source of your choosing. You should utilize the Alabama Virtual Library's Infotrac database to find your critical essay on either Hughes or his works. I will review this resource with you in class.
Here is a link to the essay requirements.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
