If you missed class today, you missed a class period to work in the lab writing your rough draft of SpringBoard Unit 3, Embedded Assessment 2. At this point, students should be finished reading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and should be finished with the SpringBoard Unit 3 Embedded Assessment 2 Packet. We will spend Thursday and then Friday drafting the actual literary analysis (from the thesis statement and outline in the packet) and the first draft will be due to Turnitin by midnight on Friday, March 29th, 2013.
Homework: Begin posting journals on goodreads according to the Advanced English IIB Independent Reading Assignment. If you have not yet added your book selection to the Independent Reading Sign-Up Sheet, please do so during your next class period with me!
Finally, here was your question for your EOC Passage Analysis (due tomorrow!) with Straw Into Gold.
