HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
We discussed paragraph chunking for our upcoming MLK literary analysis essay questions.
We continued with our two assignments from the MLK “I Have a Dream Speech.” The students are working with the literary devices he uses to create a visual representation and complete a literary analysis.
Each student has been assigned a line from the speech to represent in a visual format. Please see the rubric for specific assignment requirements. This assignment can be turned in at anytime, but the final day to turn it in is Wednesday, March 2nd.
The literary analysis assignment is being worked on in class as well as at home. We will spend next week in the computer lab. The assignment must be typed and will be due to me by the end of the class period next Friday, February 18th.
