Week at a glance March 4 - 7, 2014

This week we are finally done with Arthur Miller's  Death of a Salesman.  We will begin the week in the Library Computer Lab D to type and upload a final draft of the essay to turnitin.com.  Essays not turned in to turnitin.com will not count has having been turned in until they are uploaded by the student.

From there we will move on to the start of our Short Story Unit.  The Short Story Unit is unique in that it features female protagonists written by female writers--something that unfortunately rarely happens in our curriculum.  We will start the unit with one of my personal favorite stories: Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper."

• Mon: Meet in the Library Computer Lab D to type and upload a final draft of The Death of a Salesman Essay.

• Thurs: Short Story Unit - "The Yellow Wallpaper" study guide due by the end of the hour.
• Fri: No school - End of the 3rd quarter
