New Format

  •  All assignment options will now be posted for the whole week (Monday or Wednesday depending on your class period). 
  • You can then select which options you want to complete.  You should try at least one new assignment each week to determine whether or not it is something you want to submit. 
  • If not, you can go back to the assignments you already completed.  Again, you DO NOT have to do EVERYTHING that is posted.  Please read carefully and email questions when you have them.  
  • Every week you should be working on your reading and Lens Directions and Template slideshow.  ​

OPTION 1: Poetry Quiz

Why Would I Do This? This is a way to show you have a better understanding of some of the poetic devices than you did at the beginning of the semester.  You can improve your current score on one of your grades in Skyward.  
Objective:  I can show my understanding of poetic devices.

Agenda:
  • Entry Task: Get out your anthology and review the poems we have explored this semester. 
  • You may use your anthology on the quiz that is posted in Google Classroom.
  • Exit Task:  Hit "Done" on the assignment in Google Classroom, so I know to check for your quiz score.  

Option 2:  Aphorism Reading

Why Would I Do This?  If you did not turn in *Short Lit. on April 16th, AND you have not written a story you like yet, this is an example of the next story option.  
Objective:  I can cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain (RL11-12.1). 
Agenda:
  • Entry Task: Copy the definition of aphorism into your anthology and copy from the list any that you have heard before. 
    • Review the directions and questions on the handout in Google Classroom.
  • Read “The Daughter of Invention” by Julia Alvarez and complete the handout when you are finished.  You can answer the questions directly in your anthology if you prefer.  
  • If you liked the story, try writing one like it using the Aphorism handout in Google Classroom.   
  • Exit Task:  Don't forget to add the author and title to your Short Lit. page in your anthology!  

Option 3:  Scholarship Submission

Why Would I Do This?  If you are a senior who has written something you already have gotten feedback on and perfected, submit it here for a chance to win $500.  Remember, this is for CHS students only!  
  • These will be submitted to the committee as is. 
  • Your teacher is NOT on the reviewing committee. 
  • It is best to use something you have received feedback and made edits to already.  
  • ​This was last year's winner!

Option 4: *Short Lit. or *Poetry 5

Why Would I Do This? Your next poem or story is due April 23rd--This is an update to the Creative Writing Options. This is an opportunity to get ahead.
Objective:  I can develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach (W11-12.5).

  • Entry Task:  Login in to Google Classroom and get out your anthology.
