The summer reading essay is worth 50 points. I'd recommend that you do the following:
- Pick a thought-provoking title How to Write a Creative Title for an Essay
- Develop your essay using strong transition sentences Transitions
- Have someone proofread your essay (proofreading and editing help is fine; having mom write sentences and paragraphs is not)
1. Print the following four poems and bring to class next time Autumn Poems
You need to memorize one of the four poems for Oct 8/9.
2. Sonnet 73 Iambic pentameter. Check link for info on different meters
2. Read chapters 3-5 in The Scarlet Letter (remember, 10 pages every day)
HOMEWORK (for Monday)
1. Read chapter 5 of The Scarlet Letter
2. Write 1/3 page of notes telling us what values the Puritans in the story have.
3. Write 1/3 page of notes telling us what values the narrator of the story has.
Note: No need to write in complete sentences. Find examples and cite page numbers. You will use this for a class discussion on Monday. (Automatic 5 points for doing this.)
Here's how to do MLA citations: "Here's your nifty quote" (9). Ending quote mark, parentheses page number parentheses period. It's weird, but the period goes at the end even if the quote itself ended in a period ?:^/ For essays citing more than one work, list the author's name and then page number and any time you switch referenced works, write author's name again. (Hawthorne 9)
