Weekly Usuals

Reminder: bring your American Experience next week.

B.  No Poetry Wall or Journal This Week!  Done and Done!  Yes, I will pick a final winning class wall for fun.  I just need time to look at each set carefully.

Second round of  Poetry Presentations next class.  Come prepared!

Other Work


Finish your timelines--they are due next class.

Start reviewing for the final exam--use the review sheet I provided in class to guide you.  We'll play a competitive review game next week, so know your stuff!

Read the short story "The Far and The Near" by Thomas Wolfe.  It's in your American Experience pp. 785-788.  I think an early May field trip to the Thomas Wolfe Memorial sounds perfect!  Details coming soon.

Look up Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks"---Do a bit of research/reading. Why is it a significant piece?  What does it indicate about the 20th century culture and outlook?


Amy Tan, 1952-?


Alice Walker, 1944-?
