Here is the good news: if you passed in your complete rough draft for The Catcher in the Rye essay, you have very little homework this week. As I told you, you will have revisions due on this essay on Friday 11/30. I plan to get feedback to you on Monday, 11/26.
Here are a few things to consider over break.
1. Your biography research subject.
In short, here are the parameters:
The subject may be living or recently dead, should be well known to the writer, must be susceptible to a variety of kinds of research, must (if living) agree to be the subject. Deadline for this part of the project will be Monday, December 10.
2. Your extra credit for Into the Wild:
Take three hours by yourself to be alone in nature. Document this time, either through three journal entries or three video logs. Mark your observations of both the natural world and your emotions and thoughts within it.
3. Your Poetry Out Loud poem:
In December, I'll ask you to memorize and recite a poem. You may choose any poem longer than 15 lines from the following list: http://www.poetryoutloud.org/poems-and-performance/find-poems
You may begin your perusal now!
