Personal Narratives - Workshop

Learning Goal: Write informative texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content.

Today is Columbus Day (in the old textbooks there is a informative text called, "The Devastation of the West Indies" which makes Columbus out to be a fabulous guy).  We will continue with the workshop of your personal narratives.  I've moved the due date back for the 2nd draft until Friday.  Those of you who are out of town can email it to me at fieldingkent@hotmail.com or kfielding@skagwayschool.org

Tomorrow, we will move on to American Romanticism (1800-1855).  As part of these Unit we will read The Scarlet Letter.  Homework tonight, read the introduction to this period, pages 302-3110.
