English 10: May 7-11, 2012

Hello Sophomores!

Can you believe the year is almost over? We only meet one day this week because of Field Day activities, so let's make the most of that time.

I will be checking your note cards for your Career Paper. I expect you to bring a rough draft on Tuesday of next week. Bring a HARD COPY to class. I will not accept late rough drafts.

Your rough draft should be essentially complete, and you should only need to make the changes I show you in class before turning in your FINAL paper on Wednesday of next week. DO NOT FAIL TO COMPLETE this paper because it counts as TWO essay grades and will have a major effect on your average if you do not turn it in.

After checking note cards, I will meet with the last small group. The rest of the class will read the first few pages of Poe's "Fall of the House of Usher" and compile a list of all the details they can find about the appearance of the exterior of the house and grounds. This close reading activity will help you to understand some of the symbolism in this story.

After the small group, the entire class will read and discuss the "Fall of the House of Usher" as a large group. See you in class.

Mrs. SO
