Writing
Think Piece and essay rubrics must be printed by student and stapled to the FRONT of the work on the day it is due.

1. Portfolio Reflection: a reflective piece of writing done as a retrospective look at all your writing throughout high school that exists in your portfolios stored in the classroom. Done in-class on Wednesday, June 5.

2. A final Think Piece done as a retrospective of this semester's reading and the Modernist and Postmodern eras. Students will consider the question: Which literature is more meaningful: that from The Modernist Era or the Postmodern Era? Students must take into consideration the historical and social context of each era; they must also define what "meaningful" means to them, therefore, each TP will be different. Students must choose 3 of the 5 pieces of literature we have read this semester and use them as evidence in the TP, which should be 2-3 pages typed, double-spaced, turned into Turnitin.com and hard copy in class on Friday, June 7.

General Class Guidelines
Bring materials to class each day that we have read them for homework! Listening and Speaking points will be deducted for lack of materials, and students cannot actively learn the required material by sharing a book with another student.
 
All assignments must be typed!
