You will read Jane Austen, work on your J13, and enter the AG Poetry Contest. This will get you ahead in three assignments! Please work the entirety of both periods on these assignments. You may work with a friend to edit and discuss your poem or discuss a journal answer quietly and briefly, but the focus is on enjoying some reading and writing time.
- Continue reading Pride and Prejudice
- Journal 13: Pride and Prejudice
- You will find our study guide on Focus.
- Your journal assignment for this novel is to answer at least one question for every other chapter of your reading from the guide.
- With 61 chapters, that means you will have 31 entries that span the course of your reading (at least one response every other chapter you read). If you answered block day's question, that will fulfill your ch.1-2 response.
- These must be handwritten and in your binder. Answer all parts of the question and always write in complete sentences.
- At least one in every five responses must be a paragraph of response (5-7 sentences or more).
- You will not receive credit if you simply find the easiest question and answer in the simplest fashion.
- Answers that have grammatical errors will not count toward the 31 total.
- AG Poetry Contest
- The time has come for you to write your own poem for the quarterly contest assignment!
- Write your poem. Again, have a friend help you edit it in class. Write multiple versions. Make it awesome!
- Once you have a poem, print it, and address your envelope (see poster).
- Once you make your entry, take a screen shot of your envelope. Show me the screen shot in person when I return, and your assignment is complete for quarter 3.
- Be sure to send it right away as the contest deadline is the 26th...so you should send it by Friday the 21st of March.
