Welcome to English 11
Accelerated. To begin our preparation for the 2012-13 school year, we
will read Thomas King's Truth About Stories: a Native Narrative.
On June 18th, I will post 6 different prompts regarding Truth About Stories. As you read and comment on each prompt, I'm going to ask you to comment regularly on the responses of others, to keep ongoing conversation and debate alive. You must construct one response to each post and reply to at least two comments of your peers.
Your 2012 Summer Assignment will be worth 10% of your first quarter grade. While it would be helpful for you to break up the work throughout the summer, you do not have to keep to an exact pace with the course postings. I expect that there will be times of travel when you may not have computer access. All of the work must be completed by Tuesday, August 28th. It will also serve as a building block for our work with narrative and tone throughout the year.
