The Man of Many Sorrows

We finished O Brother. Tomorrow we'll talk about it before we jump into a discussion of morals and ethics. This discussion of morals and ethics will lead us into our reading of All My Sons, a play by Arthur Miller.

Only 4 more days until Thanksgiving break!!

O, Brother

Today we began watching our Odyssey film text, O, Brother Where Art Thou. Students are completing a critical viewing guide during the film. It is a great companion to the epic poem.

The Final, Final

Your final Odyssey Essay is due on Monday. Here's what you need:

Complete, final draft including:
MLA heading
MLA pagination
Thematic title
Introduction including thesis w/ preview of three main points
3 body paragraphs, 2 PIEs in each
Conclusion which ends with same idea discussed in essay’s opening
Works Cited citation at bottom of final page

You also need:
Peer-evaluation sheet from Friday
Rough draft and paragraphs completed each day this week, (11/11-11/14).
Yellow checklist (on Edline if you've lost your copy)

The Whole Ball o' Wax

A COMPLETE rough draft is due tomorrow. That means:
an MLA heading, page numbers, a title, introduction, 3 body paragraphs, conclusion, and works cited entry.

As always, the rough draft must be typed.

BTW, the power point that I used all week as we discussed the essay is on Edline.

Body Paragraph #2

Complete your 2nd body paragraph for tomorrow. Work on choosing appropriate textual evidence and integrating in seamlessly in to your text.

Reminder--it would be a great idea to also go back and revise your introductions and 1st body paragraphs.

Moving On...

We finished the introduction and created thesis statements. Now it's time to create the first body paragraph. Transition from the introduction, and follow the paragraph outline provided today in class. Don't forget to include two PIES in your paragraph!

Also, a blog post (#2) is due by tomorrow a.m.
