The project will be written and presented orally to the class. See packet and this web site for specific project ideas. The response may include brief summary but should go beyond summary to reactions and critical responses. These assignments serve to aid your understanding of the literature and replace traditional quizzes. Journal entries will be submitted for a grade about every three weeks.
Evaluation is based on completeness and interaction with the literature assigned.
Some of the journal responses will be posted to the class bulletin board. Three tests will be given, one after each genre. The last test, which will be given during the final exam period, will include questions from the genres of fiction and poetry as well as the third genre studied, drama. If you must miss a test day, any make-up exam should be prearranged. Your poem selection is limited to this list .
