Final Assignment

You've reached the last week of school! For your final assignment, I'd like you to reflect on something you learned this year. It might be in my class or in some other class or not even at school; it could be a hobby or activity that you learned or in which you got better. Tell me about what you learned, give me some specifics and reflect on its meaning for you.
You may use any format you like: video (any accessible platform), audio only (again, any accessible platform), written work (paragraph, poem, etc.), drawing. I'll leave that up to you. Have fun with it. If you make a video or other type of linked item, (Tiktok, Youtube, etc.) just include the link in your document.
Please put the item in your English folder and title your doc or google slide First Initial Last Name Final (example B Desai Final). This is due by Wednesday, June 17 before 2 p.m. 

I hope you all have a safe, joyful summer. Much love, Ms. D.

Assignments for the week of June 8

To finish looking at the Harlem Renaissance, I'd like you to read and react to a beautiful poem, one that speaks to love rather than hardship. Here's the link: An Aspect of Love

Moving on to Modernist short stories, you have two this week, the first one using stream-of-consciousness, which was one of the techniques Modernists explored. The other is more in the realm of Realism. Both stories examine strong women characters in a time where women had limited options.
Your assignment is to read both stories and write an essay about any theme that unites these stories. Remember to use a proper thematic statement. It must have a developed introduction, a proper thesis statement, at least three developed body paragraphs, and a developed conclusion. Body paragraphs must have thorough, complete evidence AND reasoning.

Here's the first link: The Jilting of Granny Weatherall

Here's the second: The Chrysanthemums

Doc in your English folder will be titled First Initial Last Name Comparison (example B Desai Comparison). 

Due June 15 before 2 p.m.
