Tuesday 9 6 11 Notes and Assignments

Welcome back. Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend.

I now have a Facebook page, but I won't accept friend requests from current students. Nothing personal, but I see you all the time; my Facebook account is to keep up with people I don't see all that often. Once you leave ACA--or after I do--then we can be Facebook friends.

I've been looking at some Maya art recently. Here are some stone carvings that are probably as much as a thousand years old:



And here's your homework for tonight:
10th:  VOCAB Quiz Tomorrow! Read 99-100. Review 101-105. Write an evaluative paragraph on this topic: Is the Puritan habit of interpreting specific events as expressions of God’s will valid as they practiced it? As always in academic writing, use formal voice and use specific examples and analysis in support. Bonus for TYPED responses. Due tomorrow.

In the reading, the ‘common prayer’ refers to the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, the rituals and liturgy for the Church of England, which many Puritans rejected as being too catholic.

11/12: ‘Final’ drafts due tomorrow.

HW: Use your ‘They Say, I Say’ homework to make a list of research questions. Be as specific as possible.

8th: Voc quiz tomorrow. Rewrite ‘My Place’ paragraphs—due Thursday.

9th: Vocab quiz tomorrow.
In-class writing for today (due tomorrow). Write a paragraph explaining the characteristics of a myth. Use examples, etc.

RHETORIC: No more rhetoric classes but work is still due. Revised thesis statements TOMORROW, please.
