End of break clarifications

We are reading through chapter 33 of Huck Finn during break. Hopefully you got this information during class, and if not, hopefully you still have enough time to complete your reading.

Your next essay, which is due January 8th, is explained in the post on December 11th. It is not based on Huck Finn, but rather has you synthesize information from the documents attached to the post. It is similar in feel to a DBQ with the major exceptions being that you can use semi-formal voice (I and we are acceptable to context) and you must quote from the documents.

Hope this is helpful; email if you have any questions.

Extra Credit Make up

If you are unavailable to attend the extra credit session, please email me and explain why you will not be able to attend and I will email you the link to the video. I'd rather people attend the sessions after school, so I've chosen not to post the link online.

Next Read Due Wednesday, 12/16

Read Chapter's 6-9 for Wednesday


Additionally, sorry I didn't get these posted for the weekend, but here are some important themes/motifs in Huck Finn that you will be wanting to pay attention to as you do your reading. Although understanding the plot is important, looking at how these topics help to create our understanding of characters is even more significant.

I suggest that you mark these topics in your text (or on a post-it). If you want to be extra fancy, you can also color-code these different ideas in your notes. Many of these topics are mentioned in chapters 1-5, so you may need to go back and mark them from that reading as well.

Superstition
The role of the river
Women (and their influence on Huck)
Religion
Education
Class Consciousness
Racial Identity
Clothing
Money/Wealth/Acquisitiveness (wanting to acquire stuff)
Deception
Search for Approval
Protectiveness

Huck Finn Reading, Extra Credit, and Essay Work

You will have chapters 1-5 of Huck Finn due on Monday.

On Tuesday and Wednesday after school next week, there will be an extra credit video opportunity in room 113 after school. To earn extra credit, you must first view and take notes on the video. Then, you will write a one page summary of what you learned and a one page reflection of what you found interesting or significant, what it made you consider, etc. (double-spaced). This will be due on the Friday before break, 12/18.

Your next essay will be due on January 8th, which is the Friday you return from break. It is a synthesis style essay, which is very similar to a history DBQ with the main difference being that it is required that you do use quotations to support your opinions. The documents that this is based on are available here. It is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with this assignment before vacation so that you can ask any questions before break begins.

I will make an effort to set up a "rough draft editing" assignment on Turnitin if you are looking for a place to receive student feedback over break.

Due Monday

Make sure you have completed your Scarlet Letter reading for Monday. Before Winter Break, you will need to provided evidence of your vocabulary enrichment by meeting with me before or after school, or during class (if time allows).

Due Thursday

For Thursday, you will need to complete the passages by Frederick Douglass (426-430) in your textbook, and the photocopies of the Harriet Jacobs text. Because of my lack of photocopies, we are staggering the reading so that we can share the copies available. Here is the recommended reading timeline:

Interior rows of the room (near the aisle):

Due Wednesday: Frederick Douglass
Due Thursday: Harriet Jacobs

Back rows of the room (near the walls):

Due Wednesday: Harriet Jacobs (remember to bring your copies back to class)
Due Thursday: Frederick Douglass

If you were absent today, I'd recommend reading the Douglass excerpt in your book regardless of where you sit, and you can read the Jacobs for Thursday.

Please set up a "notes frame" for each of the passage. Although each author makes similar claims, they appeal to their audience in different ways. Be thinking about each author's use of diction, rhetorical appeals, selection of detail, etc. as you do each reading.

Due 11/30

Please read through Chapter 19 of The Scarlet Letter. Continue your work with vocabulary acquisition and enjoy your reading time throughout the week. (Don't save it all for Sunday!)

Due Monday and Beyond!

For Monday, you are reading the excerpt from "Walden" in your textbook. Be prepared to discuss how this demonstrates Transcendental ideas.

For Friday you will need to have read chapters 1-8 of The Scarlet Letter. Please note that we are NOT reading the introductory section called "The Custom House". Please skip this and start with the chapter called "The Prison Door".

One of your main assignments for The Scarlet Letter is to increase your vocabulary so please keep track of new words and their definitions. If this gets overwhelming, you may need to pick and choose the words that you are looking up.

An online copy is available here. Remember also that the Scarlet Letter should be a free (or super cheap) download through Kindle or IBooks. You may purchase your own paper copy if you choose and some of us will be able to check out a paper copy from the library on Monday.

Due Friday

Research Emerson quotations online and select 5 that you really enjoy. Copy and paste the quotations into a document and format it so that you have a pretty readable font-size (around 20). Cut out each quotation individually, and bring them with you to class.

We will be doing a class activity with these quotations, so make sure to get this done so you don't feel left out.

Revolutionary Authors Analysis Essay

You will be writing a complete essay analyzing how Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine used rhetorical devices to persuade their audiences to separate from England. This chart will help you organize your ideas, but is not a required or assessed part of the assignment, so ignore where it says "you will be completing a chart." It is, however, highly recommended that you use the chart to help with organization and analytical thinking.

Due dates for your paper are as follows:

Monday: Edwards paragraphs will be returned.
Due Tuesday, 10/27: Intro and body paragraph one (revisions in class)
Due Thursday, 10/29: Revised Intro, body one AND body paragraph 2 (revisions in class)
Wednesday: Unit 1 Test
Due Friday, 10/30: Complete rough draft (revisions in class)
Due Monday, 11/2: Final copy due on paper and through Turnitin.

This assignment will receive summative scores in Transitions, and Analysis, and formative scores in conventions and requirements.

Due Thursday and Beyond!

Due Thursday: We will finally talk about "Franklin and the Gout." You may need to (re)read this passage in preparation for the discussion. Please note that although we will not discuss Franklin's autobiography much, we will mention it in class on Friday. It is also required reading for Unit 1 and is something you will need to get read. Therefore, it would be a good idea if you have it read for Friday.

Due Tuesday: You will have a revisions day for the first two paragraphs of our next writing assignment. You will find out more about this assignment on Friday.

Due Wednesday: The Unit 1 content test is today! Please see below for a questions break down and a reading list of Unit 1 material.

Authors of Passages we’ve read

Approximate dates and purpose of passages we’ve read

You will need to be able to identify excerpts from the passages we’ve read

Due Wednesday, 10/21

Now that we have discussed the Banneker passage thoroughly, you will need to create an outline for a complete essay (that we are NOT going to write) but that would answer the prompt and allow you to show off your best insights into the passage.

Your outline should address multiple rhetorical strategies as suggested by the prompt, and these strategies will most likely become your paragraph topics (in other words, your POA points.) Your outline should include evidence from the text and a brief bullet point explaining the insight gained from that piece of evidence. Please abbreviate quotation as needed, but make sure to leave enough for me to get the general idea.

Your outline should begin with a specific thesis statement that answers the prompt.

A general example:


Thesis statement: Banneker uses [stuff 1, stuff 2&3, and stuff 4] in an attempt to convince Jefferson that [something specific].

Paragraph 1: Stuff 1

- "quotation"
- insight

- "quotation"
- insight

Paragraph 2: Stuff 2 & 3

- "quotation"
- insight

- "quotation"
- insight

- "quotation"
- insight

Paragraph 3 Stuff 4:

- "quotation"
- insight

- "quotation"
- insight

Due Monday--Edwards Paragraph and Grammar!

Finish final copy of Edward's paragraph. You will need to turn it in online as well as on paper.

Please identify the sentences on the worksheet below as either simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex. Print (or hand write if your printer is not working) and bring to class completed.


Sentence Structure Practice

If you'd like more explanation of sentence structures, it is available here. (This is a cheesy document, but it might be helpful.)

If you'd like even more practice exercises with explanations, go to the Sprague Online Writing Center and click on the pages for sentence types on the left.

Edwards Paragraph Help

Here are the powerpoints to help you with your Edwards paragraph.

Analytical Unit Example

MLA Formatting

Due Tuesday-Rough Draft of Edwards Intro and Body Paragraph

Edwards Introduction and Body Paragraph


Using the format provided in Part I of your “Musings” packet, write an introduction and body paragraph on “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”


Thesis Ideas: Edwards creates fear in the audience. The purpose of this fear is to ________________________.
(fill in specific ideas)

POA: Edwards uses imagery, structure, and rhetoric.


Your body paragraph will provide three analytical units on his effective use of imagery.


To make sure you get all of the steps needed for quality analysis, I am posting an outline of what an Edwards Body Paragraph should do. Please note that you will need to do all steps within your paragraph, but that each step will probably be more than one sentence-especially the how step. This is a single paragraph, so it should look like a single paragraph on your paper.

Due Friday

Complete your reading on Edwards' "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" paying special attention to how he uses figurative language to impact his audience.

Due Wednesday and Reading due Thursday

Due Wednesday:

Based on your notes today in class, please print and complete this parts of speech worksheet.

Due Thursday:

Read Cotton Mather's "Wonders of the Invisible World" (75-78). Please create a S.O.A.P.S. chart under the "reading notes" section of a reading notes frame. Under the "Speaker" category, please provide two inferences about the speaker with a quotation that supports each. You may want one of them to address the issue of speaker bias. Some of you have also noticed that you need to leave a bit more space under each of the sections of your notes frame to accommodate all of the information that you will write down.

Due Monday

Hopefully, you made some progress on the S.O.A.P.S. notes for Smith and Bradford today.


You will also need to create a chart based on the Bradford/Smith readings that has the following:

One column focusing on details more unique to Bradford's work.
One column focusing on details more unique to Smith's work.
One column identifying what similiarites the two pieces had.

Under each column, you may with to consider such things as:

-Characterization of speaker, community members
-Values of community
-Lifestyle/living conditions
-Voyage
-Relationship with Native Americans
-Style of writing
-Purpose of writing
-Selection of details

This is just a start, so you can feel free to include other observations that I haven't mentioned. Try to aim for about 4-5 observations under each column.

This chart will be handed in and graded under the category of "practice".

Due Thursday

Remember you are turning in on paper your antithesis practice assignment. Make sure you have all of your internal transitions in place before each piece of evidence as well as the transitions needed for an antithesis essay. You will be assessed on transitions and development of ideas (elaboration of evidence.)

Helpful documents are below:

Transitional Thinking Overhead

Antithesis scramble in proper order

(Please note for the antithesis scramble sample that it demonstrates correct antithesis transitions, internal transitions, transitional thinking, and elaboration of evidence. It is missing the third piece of evidence and summary sentences which your assignment will need to have.)

Generic List of Transitional Phrases

Antithesis Practice

Here is another topic to practice with the antithesis format.

2. To what extent are dances an important part of the high school experience?


a. thesis/antithesis/POA statement
b. first sentence of antithesis paragraph
c. first sentence of first thesis paragraph.


If you are really feeling lost, this outline be helpful as a rough, rough draft of your paper.

Thesis Antithesis Writing Assignment

Due Thursday:

Antithesis/Thesis Practice Writing Assignment

Step 1: Select a topic of your choice that you would like to write practice antithesis/thesis paragraphs with. You might consider something from:
 Music
 Movies
 Politics/Policy
 Food
 Hobbies, Sports, activities
 (Anything else that interests you—if you’re unsure about your topic, check with me first)

Step 2: Following the guidelines in the “Musings” packet, write an Antithesis/Thesis statement with 2 POA points. Remember to focus on the concept of opposing, not just opposite. (Note that you’re not writing an entire introduction, just the antithesis/thesis).

Step 3: Write a corresponding antithesis paragraph. Make sure to remember your qualifying transition. You should have 3 pieces of evidence to support your antithesis paragraph and use standard paragraph format.

Step 4: Write a corresponding thesis paragraph. Make sure to use an appropriate contrasting transition word that acknowledges your antithesis, and clearly state your thesis and POA point. You should have 3 pieces of evidence and use standard paragraph format.

Step 5: Proof read your paragraphs, checking for conventions errors, and making sure that you match the structure given to you in the packet.

Here is the overhead information on the concept of transitional thinking.

Reading Due Friday:

Read "The General History of Virginia" (42-47)
Read "Of Plymouth Plantation" (50-54)

Due Monday

For Monday, please read the remainder of the "Musings" packet (Part II.) Please complete an additional note frame for Part II, as the information is quite different from Part I.

Today's "quiz" from class is available here if you'd like to see some not great examples of introduction first sentences.

More positive examples are available here.

Due Friday

Read Part I of the "Musings on the '5' Paragraph essay packet. Part I ends on the middle of page six. Please set up notes for this reading using the note taking frame available here.

Humanities Writing Diagnostic: Due Thursday, 9/10

Your signed syllabus is due Thursday, 9/10. It is available here and on the HAMLIT homepage.



Humanities Writing Pre-Test


Imagine you are writing an essay on one of the following topics:

1. Why is the study of past events (history) important in a world that is focused so much on the present and future developments?

2. Why is the study of past writing (literature) important in a world that seemingly places little emphasis on this medium of expression?

Now, the assignment:

Write an introduction and a body paragraph that address ONE of these topics. Set up your introduction as if you were writing the entire essay, but you, of course, will just be writing one body paragraph.

Please use this as an opportunity to show off your best writing in terms of vocabulary, structure, organization, and ideas. I understand that this is essentially a ‘first draft’ and has not undergone a lengthy revision process, but you should proof read for conventions.

Please type in 12-point font unless you are currently without access to a computer/printer. If that's the case, hand write neatly in pen.

We will be practicing a dual turn in for this assignment. Please bring a print copy to turn in that I will use for grading purposes. Additionally, please turn in a copy through Turnitin, so that you become use to using this program. Your print copy will count as the assignment being "on time", so don't panic if you can't get Turnitin to work for you on your first try.

This assignment will receive points for completion, but will not be "assessed" so don't worry about your grade.

Dos Passos Extra Credit Due Wednesday

Please pick up a copy of the text from me before or after school. Then read the information below, read the text, and then answer the questions thoughtfully and submit on Turnitin. Your responses must be individual; those bearing a strong resemblance to other student responses will be placed under review and may not receive extra credit.

John Dos Passos was an influential Modern writer at the same time as Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald. Like Hemingway, his experiences in World War I contributed greatly to his writing. One of his most famous works, the U.S.A. trilogy, traces the lives of several characters in the years preceding, during, and following World War I. In addition to telling the stories of these characters’ lives, he includes several “biography” sections in this work, in most cases of famous Americans. The biography he presents in this section is of a different sort. Read this section carefully and answer the following questions in detail using specific quotations from the text. The excerpt is challenging, so you may find that you need to read it more than once.

1. Identify several instances in which Dos Passos uses language/structure in a unique way.
What overall effects does this use of language have on the piece?
2. What insight does this piece give into society of this time period in regards to racial relations?
3. How is war depicted in this passage?
4. What are some ironies that this excerpt addresses?
5. What role does repetition play in this passage?
6. How does this passage’s style and content compare to the writings of Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald? (Be sure to address all three.)
7. What is your personal opinion of this passage? (Reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.)

Faulkner Reading

The next story we will be reading is "Wash" by William Faulkner who is the last of the four major Modern American authors we will be studying before the final. We are short on copies, so you may want to print out the PDF available here.

We will be discussing this story in class on Friday. So, this means that if you are not done SBACing on Friday, you will need to get those discussion notes from someone who is present. If you are in class on Thursday, we will be having some reading time for reading Wash, and if this reading is not complete after class on Thursday, it becomes homework to finish reading for Friday's discussion. If you have already read "Wash", you will use Thursday's

The next story we will be reading is excerpts from Faulkner's "The Bear" which is available in your red book. You will need to use the version in your red book, because any version that you find online with be 50 times longer, because it will be the full text. This story will be due on Monday.

Also, semester 2 final information is available on the left, including reading lists from first and second semester.

Due Tomorrow

Please use your "QUOTES" revision sheet to rewrite this paragraph in need of help.

Due Monday

Please read Steinbeck's short story, "The Snake". If you were absent, you may need to borrow a copy from someone who was here, or search out a copy of the text online.

Assignment from 5/12

The Old Man and the Sea Review

Due Tuesday

Many of you need to catch up on your reading and read Hemingway's "In Another Country". If you don't have your book, the story is available online.

You will also need to finish writing down ideas for the questions below.

1. What observations can you make about the point of view of this story? What effect does this have on the reader?

2. What possible symbolism is present in the occupations of the narrator’s three main companions?

3. How is the war described on multiple occasions and what effect does this have on the story?

4. What different elements of the story contribute to a sense of isolation and alienation (or a sense of barriers prohibiting a sense of connection)?

5. What is the importance of the machines? (Hint: It’s not just ‘false hopes and promises of the modern age.’) How do the machines help to illustrate an important irony?

6. What is the importance of the major’s wife dying from pneumonia unexpectedly? What does he counsel the narrator against marriage?

For Friday

Please print the document regarding transitional elements.

SBAC practice test

The Test:

You are going to complete a practice SBAC computer based test as a "guest".

When I Heard the Learned Astronomer
by Walt Whitman

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and
measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much
applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
