Greetings Sophomores!
The year is passing so quickly, and we have so much left to do!
Let me begin with the plans that apply to all classes. This week we will complete the unit on The Age of Reason. We will be reading selections from Thomas Jefferson and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and discussing how parody and satire can be used together. We understand from these texts the meaning and use of parallelism in literature. We will also read the short story "Harrison Bergeron" and discuss it in the context of the rights listed in the "Declaration of Independence." In addition to these texts, we will read an excerpt from Letters from an American Farmer and learn about African-American poet Phylis Wheatly. All this will culminate in a test on this period.
Grade level students will have a quiz on vocabulary lesson16.
Pre-AP students must upload their essays to Moodle by Tuesday evening.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
