Hello Sophomores!
This week and next week are shortened. We will meet only on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, since students have a holiday on Friday.
Now that you have finished the unit on Puritan and related writing, it's time to move on to the Revolutionary War period...called the Age of Reason because of people's turning away from religion for answers and seeking answers in science and observation. This marks a very different style of writing from what we have recently read. In this unit, we will read excerpts from Franklin, speeches and pamphlets from the American founding fathers, discover the trend towards Deism as a new view of God, and read what the first "Americans" felt about their newly formed country.
We are also nearing graduation exam time....so....we will be boning up on our grammar and reading skills. Be prepared over the next weeks to practice reading comprehension and correcting sentences with various errors.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
