Homework is to prepare for the presentation. Email and bring me a copy of your lesson plan, the exercise handout or instructions. Bring in enough copies of the exercises for everyone.

Rehearse the presentation in advance. If you need to test or set up technology, I will be in the classroom a bit earlier tomorrow morning.

Have an alternative plan. Do not base everything on Internet. Put PowerPoint docs on a CD. We will write an essay about poetry on Thursday. You can have 90 minutes to write a 2-page essay on a poem of your choice from Indivisible. Watch the video first. Read the author's website as well.

There other two sources will be a part of your bibliography. Email the essay to me at coasabirenglish1B@gmail.com It is due by 12 noon tomorrow. If it is late, you have a zero. Homework for the weekend is to bring in an Initial Planning Sheet for your independent book project for Monday. We will do more with Indivisible and Persepolis for those who chose to write the second essay on fiction. It is optional.

I will show you the interview with the author, Marjane Satrapi. Next week we will talk about the portfolio and start assembling it.
