Your midterm will consist of two separate assessments:
1. An in-class essay which asks you to respond to the following question:
What does it mean to be a young American?
Using Into the Wild, The Catcher in the Rye and
one other example of your own choosing, you will answer this question
fully and specifically. We shall use the rubric from the beginning of
the year to assess you:
You may outline and bring notes to the
exam, but the actual essay will be written on demand. This will be worth
30% of your midterm grade.
2. A portfolio which asks you
to reflect upon the work you have done this semester as a reader, writer
and thinker. This will be worth 70% of your midterm grade.
Here are the documents which will help you with this task:
