1/23 – Classwork and Homework

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Hope your weeks are off running to a good start. Today in class we discussed the importance of stories and storytelling, watched a Pixar clip, told a partner a story and rewrote it for in-class writing, and were introduced to the requirements for Essay 1.

For homework:

1. Read and respond to “A Homemade Education” by Malcolm X and “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie (pay attention to how they build an argument using personal narratives).

2. Pick one of the following:

  • Rewrite the story you told for homework due 1/23
  • Rewrite the story you told to your partner in class today
  • OR
  • Write a story/begin to write a story that you may want to use for Essay 1
