Block A/Creative Writing

Today we finished the film Stranger than Fiction. If you did not do so already, please complete a Reading Response for the film and bring it to class (TYPED and saved on your Google Account) tomorrow.

Next, I gave you an excerpt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to read. Using three different colored highlighters, mark up the text noting the difference between narrative, action, and dialogue. Bring your colorful work to class tomorrow!

Block B/Honors English 11

Today we worked on thesis statements--which are a bit tricky as you are trying to write about both the WHAT and the HOW (the theme and the strategies Alexie explores).  If you are looking for help, try using this organizer, which provides some good vocabulary for you to use in your thesis.

Here are some important dates that you will need to remember:

Rough Draft due on Tuesday 10/22

Final draft due on 10/28 (submitted in paper form and via Turnitin.com

Finally, if you were planning to use any of the interview we watched with Sherman Alexie, feel free to view it here. Depending on your topic, you may find some relevant comments that you can incorporate as evidence. .
