JOURNALS - this has changed
Becoming a better writer is really contingent on the amount an individual writes. It will be important during Brit Lit to journal daily. I will have a prompt on the board which you can write about, or write on your own. At the end of each week, we will roll a die to decide whether that week of journaling will be graded or not. If luck shall have it that your journals will go in the grade book, you will receive 5 points an entry for a weekly total of 25 points. It will be important for you to keep a notebook with all your journals in it, specifically for this class.

The English 11 class traces American literature backwards through time!
We'll start by reading some contemporary literature and slowly move backwards to cover the 1920's, realism, romanticism, the fireside poets, and the Crucible. We'll be reading books, short stories, plays, and also working on your writing skills.
