June 4, 2015 By

As you put the finishing touches on your PBA, here are two great links to help you with your works cited (Only for 10E and 10H):

Purdue OWL–The link will take you to works cited basic info but if you look in the left column, you will find helpful information for different types of sources.
EasyBib–If used thoughtfully, this site will do much of the work for you.

1. Waiting for Godot–Complete the play by Tuesday!
2. PBA Essay–Final drafts due Monday!

General Formatting (PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL):

  • Double-spaced; size 12 font; Times New Roman or similar
  • .75 margins on both left and right sides. Justify margin. Indentations– .5” or 1 tab space.
  • All pages beyond the first page should be numbered.  Page numbers should be placed at the bottom right of each page.
  • No Cover Page.  Include name, class, and date (Single space the heading)
  • Be sure TITLE reflects the theme of the essay (for instance, 1984: Hierarchical Hegemony)

HW12G due 6/5: Essence Poems

June 2, 2015 By

1. Essence Poems–For lack of a better term, we will call these penultimate poems…Essence Poems. You pulled a name…now capture a bit of that person in verse! All aspects of poem should be shaped by your subject… Your subject (and what you know about your subject) should determine whether you will have rhyme, whether you will have a set rhythm, stanzaic shape, etc. Just to be clear: this does not mean that you should literally ask your subject these questions.

2. PBA Poem–Subject: High School! More to come!
