Do Now: What was your favorite piece of literature or laptop project that we did this year? Why?
Review for the Final Exam:
Among the work we've read:
The poetry and prose of the Puritans
The Crucible
Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography
The Declaration of Independence
The poetry of Walt Whitman
Thoreau's transcendental essays
Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Kate Chopin's A pair of Silk Stockings
The poetry and short stories of the Harlem Renaissance.
Each of these literary works has had an important message about being an American as well as a message/theme that suggests ways to live your life.
With a partner, write briefly what each author's theme has taught you.
Homework: Continue classwork at home to help you study. Journals will be graded Thursday!
