This week, we're in transition. On the one hand, you're finishing up your Midsummer essays. Complete rough drafts of these essays are due on Wednesday of this week, and final drafts due by Friday at 3:10 to earn full credit. As we discussed, if you visit the Writer's Block for a conference, you may turn your paper in on Monday with no penalty!! Bonus!!
On the other hand, we're beginning a new unit on In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. This time, we're going to view our film pairing before reading, which I think will be a nice break for everyone as they work on their essays. The film is called The Official Story, and it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1985. We'll be starting that on Tuesday!
Hi Ms. West,
ReplyDeleteCan you please post the essay sheet thing?? Thanks a ton!!
Hey Ms. West,
ReplyDeleteHow would I quote a conversation in the play? Would I just do it in block format or what?
Thanks, Dan Murphy
Dan, It's best to just use what you need and write in your own transitions. (e.g. As Titania says, "Blah blah blah." After which, Oberon quipped, "Yadda yadda yadda" (3.1.14-20).
