The Research Paper

We will continue to work on the research paper the week of November 24 and the week of December 1. A rough draft will be completed during the week of December 1.  Once the rough draft is completed, you will have a week to work on editing and revising the rough draft in preparation for turning in your final draft to www.turnitin.com.  The due date for the final draft will be announced in class.

The week of December 8 we will begin studying Homer and The Odyssey.

Yasmina Khadra novel -- We will discuss the project portion of the marking period end assessment during the week of October 20.  However, make sure you have been reading the novel!  Note the new due dates for the marking period assessment -- articles with paragraphs are due Monday, Oct. 27 and cultural analysis is due Wed., Oct. 29.

We will be doing some war poetry and viewing the film War Horse.  As this will close our unit of war literature, you will be writing a thesis paper focusing on the works studied this marking period.  However, we will most likely not begin this paper until the end of October/the beginning of November.

Once you are done reading the novel, you should have a bit of "free-time" at home to work on reading and completing the project for your Yasmina Khadra novel.  The assignment and final due date is posted under the ABOUT section of google classroom.
