Friday Fun for 2nd Period

English 3s,

Remember to read Chapter 6 of The Scarlet Letter over the weekend. Our course from now on will be to read chapters at home, take a running-tally quiz first thing in your spiral notebooks, and then watching and discussing the 1979 television mini-series version of TSL. As long as we continue to learn and discuss the Dark Romantic ideals, symbols, and writing style along with the film's interpretations, you will have a wonderfully deep appreciation for TSL.

Also remember to finish your full rough draft for class on Wednesday. Bring it in on Wed. so that everyone can share their papers with each other to check off all the important information and formatting exists for the final draft of the paper. Remember to include the following things somewhere in your paper:
  • brief biography
  • influences on the writer
  • lasting influences by the writer
  • literary criticism (other people's review and comments on the writer's work)
  • literary time period and style (his contemporaries, ie. "Dark Romantic" for Nathaniel Hawthorne)
If you do NOT have these pieces of information, RESEARCH MORE. Remember that if you add a new resource, you MUST CITE AND ANNOTATE that source. Good research takes a few tries to get all your information.

    1. Yes! Bring in a rough draft and you will have the time to correct it before I grade it on Friday.
