Greetings Sophomores!
This year is dashing past us! We have only three weeks before exam week!
This week we will continue our study of American Romanticism and finish reading "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Devil and Tom Walker."
We will also read two poems by William Cullen Bryant, "To a Waterfowl" and "Thanatopsis."
These poems illustrate the Romantics' focus on nature as a means to understanding.
You also should be working on your Career Research Papers. You should have already shown me your source sheet or cards. Your NOTE cards are due on Friday of this week. They count as an essay grade, so don't neglect them. I will not accept them late. If you have forgotten how to make note cards, see the link on the side of my blog.
This week we will also be working in small reading groups. While I work with a few students at a time, the rest of you will be reading from your text books or reviewing grammar exercises. I will need your cooperation so that we can all become stronger readers.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
