UPDATE ON ASSIGNMENTS in Common Lit

1. If you have not completed the common lit assignment for "America" it is now late.  I entered 0 for those who did not complete the assignment, which will be updated minus the late deduction.

2. Common Lit assignment Washington and Du Bois is now due. Please make sure it is submitted by 10/23.

3. Common Lit assignment "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" is Due 10/23 for periods 2,5,6, and 7.

4. REMEMBER, the short answer questions require a complete response and are scored as a separate writing assignment (0=0, 1=60, 2=73, 3=87, 4=100). If the prompt asks you to examine imagery, then write about ALL the imagery. ONE LOVELY, WELL CONSTRUCTED AND ARGUED PERSUASIVE PARAGRAPH WILL DO (see the exemplar from the returned America Assignment). Format should be:
THESIS ASSERTION as your topic sentence, then work the text chronologically.
THESIS
SUPPORT+ COMMENTARY (as much as is necessary to provide a complete answer), concluding sentence.
CONCLUDING SENTENCE.

Some questions are more direct and will require only a direct ASSERTION, 1 Support, and appropriate commentary.

6. Common Lit MC will only score your support selection if you answer the preceding question correctly, so please read each question carefully, check your answers, and change them  as needed BEFORE you submit. If you score below 60 I will return the assignment for revision.

7. NoRedInk is a 100 or 0 assignment, please complete this before 10/23.
