Due 12/1: 1984 and ASC Precis #1
November 29, 2017 By
1. 1984–Read and annotate Chapter 1 of Part III (up to p. 239). There may or may not be a quiz on the reading; it’s up to Diego (just kidding).
2. ASC–Your first Precis is due! Remember, you must give me a HARD COPY of the precis in class Friday. Do not send it to me electronically. Other things to keep in mind:
- Precis should be single-spaced
- For every 4 or 5 pages of source material, you should have one precis page
- Heading should be single-spaced in the upper left corner:
Your Name
English 4B
12/1/17
Use only the above for your heading.
- Your precis should have a centered title and it should be formatted as follows:
Precis: (Title of Source Article)
Follow all other precis guidelines previously posted.
3. Class Forum–Post links to the class forum. Keep in mind:
- Post to the appropriate class forum. So, if you are in 2A, post a response to the thread started in that forum.
- Post your links as Replies to the thread entitled “2. Precis Source Links.” DO NOT START A NEW THREAD! 🙂
- Please DO NOT post multiple responses to the thread; rather, just add links to your initial response as you decide on them (click edit to do that). Again, DO NOT POST MULTIPLE RESPONSES TO THIS THREAD.
- Also, please indicate prior to each link which precis it is connected to.

Due 11/30: Butterflies and Personal Narrative
November 28, 2017 By
1. Butterflies–Read and annotate Chapter 6. Thursday, your annotations will help to direct discussion.
2. Quarterly Exam–The exam for this quarter has two parts:
- Personal Narrative (4-6 pages)
- Confessional Poem
Tonight, brainstorm ideas for your personal narrative. In the spirit of Butterflies, your narrative will explore a specific experience. Ideally the story you tell will be connected to your confessional poem. As a reminder, all stages of the writing process may be collected and graded, so always be thoughtful (especially when brainstorming).
