Greetings APEs!
I sit here, near the end of February, amazed at how much we've accomplished and startled at how much yet remains to do.
This week we will meet twice. On Tuesday, we will read and analyze various poems by Langston Hughes. You may consider any of the poems we discuss in class for your research/synthesis papers. Do NOT forget that BY Friday you will be expected to have selected the outside critical source for your paper and will be expected to participate in a "roundtable" discussion of your research idea. Tell us what your article is, give a brief synopsis of it, and tell us what you plan to write about specifically. This is the time for you to get feedback from me and your classmates. I do not expect you to have completed a paper, but you DO need a working thesis statement. In other words, what IS your argument. Your thesis MUST be an argument, and not merely a fact. Take a stance, and in your paper, with the help of Hughes' texts and your outside source, defend that stance.
I'm very excited for that session.
Next week, you will have a quiz on the N and O words from your list. Your quiz will be on Wednesday of next week.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
