Final project info for 1st semester 2008-2009

Below find info on the final two major projects of the semester.

The first is one last 1-page essay to wrap up the modernism unit. We'll be reviewing the rubric and expectations as soon as classes resume. This essay is assigned to get you back into the academic groove, and to help you begin the process of looking beyond the 5-paragraph format to a more polished essay writing style.

Due Date: Jan. 8, 2009.

Gatsby Essay

The second is the final project assignment itself. Two things to note:

A) The project will require that you read one complete work of fiction - your choice which on - prior to beginning work on the project itself. The two short novels are available all over the place (including for free from Mr. Van Hof) and the play - "A Raisin in the Sun" is available in the textbook.

B) The project has two key components: an essay and a presentation. Read the document for more info on the presentation. Be aware that this essay is far more substantial in scope and scale than the previous class essays. We will discuss grading and rubrics once classes resume.

Due Date: Jan. 14, 2009.
