This class is an exploration of the transition from childhood to adulthood. What are your individual strengths and challenges? How are you influenced by your family, friends, and various environments? How much do you know about your history and heritage? What are your core beliefs and values, and how do those shape how you deal with challenges? What are your goals for completing high school and the immediate years after high school? To help us on this journey, we’ll read four novels focused on different aspects of "coming of age" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" about success. Students will be assigned a variety of papers and essays throughout the year to relate course topics and readings to their own experiences. (1 English credit)

HW 9: Poem #1 and finish Project Proposal

Click here to see the guidelines for your final project this session. You must write a 3-paragraph, typed, double-spaced proposal of what your poetry portfolio will include.  Focus on the questions in the last paragraph.  What aspects of your life will you write about? If you say "relationships" then explain what you have to say specifically about the relationships in your life.

I must approve all proposals.

Then, HW tonight is to write the draft of your first poem. Must be 12-lines minimum, single-spaced and typed and include the poetic techniques we have been reviewing.
