This week, we are reading this article for the Article of the Week. Students are asked to 1. Read the article and mark any observations and confusion. 2. Show evidence of a close reading by marking the text with questions and comments. 3. Write a one-page reflection on your own sheet of paper. They should use the questions at the back of the article to respond. Keep in mind, the article was written August 12, 2014, and things change quickly, so there is more to know about any subject. Students can find more at this link from the NY Times.
In class, we are reading "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin available here. We are looking at figurative language, irony, suspense, and the way the story was crafted. Students will write a one-page argument paper with two large supporting paragraphs.
