2: After vocab experts, we went over the theories of New Historicism (sorry the power point was this side of boring), looked at samples, and discussed what you will be working on this week. This essay (chart Tuesday, intro Thursday, first draft Friday, final draft Monday) is an out of class experience, but we will utilizing each item during class time for q & a, evaluation, and ideas. For instance, tomorrow's class will deal with one-on-one meetings clarifying your prewriting and discussing your free response essay. Afterwards, we will turn our attention to poetry, which will be our next big unit.
5: After vocab experts, we took the highlight route of New Historicism by considering examples of the Puritans with The Scarlet Letter, the American Dream with the Gatsby, & the governess with Jane Eyre. For tomorrow's class, you will need to have your chart completed so that we can have q & a sessions and you can confidently complete the intro for Wednesday and the first draft for Friday. To prep for our upcoming poetry unit, we played with cards first and then had your literary toolbox quiz #2. If absent, you have 48 hours to make up the quiz or schedule a time to take this quiz.
