Hope you are doing OK today! One place I'd like to be able to travel to:
10th: After you turn in your essay tomorrow, we'll move on to the next phase of American literature, the period of Rationalism.
11/12: We discussed the importance of putting quotations in context, introducing them and explaining them--or 'transitioning in and out of the quotation'--so that the reader understands a) the original writer's purpose, b) the place of the ideas in the larger 'conversation' about your topic, and c) the function of this particular bit of information in your own argument.
8th: We will write one more descriptive essay. Due Friday, min. one page typed and double spaced, a description of a person you admire. Your description will explain what it is about that person that you find worthy of respect, admiration or emulation.
9th: We are working on an essay contrasting the Babylonian world view, as seen in the Enuma Elish, with a biblical view of the purpose and structure of creation. While your arguments will be grounded in facts about the E. E. and the Bible, you will me making analytical connections (finding patterns and principles) and drawing evaluative conclusions. 1 1/2 to 2 pages typed. Due date to be announced (TBA) but hopefully sometime next week.
