Course: Enriched English 10

We'll be finishing Things Fall Apart this week. The primary instructional strategy will be the Paideia Seminar, which many of you have requested. Two of these seminars (Monday and then either Thursday or Friday) will be required. The optional Tuesday session this week is a Paideia on Folktales and Proverbs. This is an enrichment session, as opposed to an "extra help" session. Here's the power point for the optional session:

Check out the weekly overview here. Notice there's a paper assignment this week. You must complete the Okonkwo as Tragic Hero worksheet. I'll give this out in class. Additionally, you must post your answer to one of the questions in the discussion forum. Your answer should be in the form of a PIE.

Click here to see the Gender Seminar questions, and here to see the Yeats Seminar questions for Friday. If you miss either of these seminars, you'll need to write out answers to the questions and hand them in.

In addition to finishing up TFA, we'll also be beginning the research letter. The assignment sheet is here. The optional session on Wednesday is related to this assignment. We'll be reviewing quality sources, both web and database. I am also going to explain using Diigo and Diigolet for notetaking.

Next Monday we'll have our final test (multiple choice with a short written component) on Things Fall Apart. I'll give some study tips on Thursday and Friday.

Here's the overview video this week. Also check out my blog post today - I reflected on last week and some themes from your end-of-week reflections.
