A Soldier and Death / Critical Lens Essay Take 2

College Prep 12

Last Friday 2nd period watched the video "A Soldier and Death" as period 7 was going to be attending an presentation by the author of Ghosts of War, Ryan Smithson. Today, period 2 went to an award assembly so period 7 watched the video, which is an old Russian folk tale. Students should have read through page 138 in Smithson's book, the end of "Relief." There should be a total of 12 reading logs so far.

English 10
  • Critical lens essays from last week were returned. Students were reminded of the importance of including litereary elements as per directions. On the the Regents exam students will lose 3 out of 6 possible points for neglecting this directions. Many students neglected this on this last essay, which was scored as a minor grade.
  • After review, a new critical lens exam was distributed. Appropriate parts were underlined. Students were offered 10 extra credit points for including a competent planning page. Essays were begun and colected. We will continue tomorrow.
