Separate Peace/Hobbit Paragraphs

The first writing assignment is due Thursday as a rough draft.
Students can download extra handouts (page 1) (page 2) if they want to do more than one rough.
This should be a completed rough draft. If you need help, you can use the Literary Essay Essentials or the Pre-AP Survivor's Guide
The final draft, typed, is due Tuesday, September 2nd. Students who will have excused absences on Friday should e-mail their rough draft to me as well as bring it to class on Thursday, so I can send you a digital copy back to fix for your final draft.

Writing/Literary Elements

Now that we are finished with A Separate Peace, it is time to focus on the core elements of writing and literature.
During class, we will be operating from the Organization handout received on Monday (this will not be online because it is copyrighted material specifically for our class).
Tuesday is the "Worldview" lecture, a good general examination into why people do what they do.
Wednesday and possibly Thursday (Wednesday is a half day) is the Archetypes lecture.
For more details, get the planner now.
Root Test #1 is Friday, so be sure to study!!!
