No homework

Your homework is to review all the poetic devices and literary devices you know. I want you to search them on your own and study them. Be prepared.

Please take a look at your creative writing assignments. They have all been graded and returned. I want you to make the necessary adjustments to your papers and then resubmit them on Google Classroom. For those of you that received a 100, you do not have any homework.

Please complete your creative writing assignment. It should be written in first person and it must include 3 quotes from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death." The quotes can NOT be led into ("the quote says," "the story says," etc.). There has to be a smooth transition between your thoughts and the words from the story. This shows the eerie comparison of the story and our current situation. Once you have completed the assignment, submit it in Google Classroom.

I am grading your 2nd Drafts. You will receive them back next week with corrections and grades (9/9). You do not have homework this week. BUT, if you saved your work on your computer and you want to start making obvious corrections now, I strongly suggest you do that. You will be writing your final copy during Thanksgiving break; start now and give yourself less to work on.

Please rewrite your draft. Consider what was discussed in class. You should have at least 4 separate paragraphs, higher level vocabulary, a clearly stated claim, and varying sentence structure. Keep in mind that you are being graded on your comprehension, analysis, and writing.

Please write a first draft of your SAT essay. If you were absent, you MUST email me to get the information for the essay (this is due to copy write issues). If you can type it, please do. You will be making corrections and if you type it, you can simply go back into your doc and fix it.
