Create a narrative
similar to Defoe’s or Equiano’s in which you detail an episode in one of
the following events: 9/11, school integration, the Stock Market Crash of
1929, the Holocaust, the African slave trade, D-Day, the Great
Depression, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Hiroshima, the
1927 flood of the MS delta, or another approved event.
The narrative should be 300 to 400 words in length. Upload your assignment to this post by 11:59p Monday, February 11. Read the assignment of two peers, and post your reviews by 11:59p Tuesday, February 12.
*Use at least one
source—print, internet, personal interview—to gather your factual
details. A few lines underneath your narrative, write a bibliography stating the
publication information of your source.
--For example, if I
interviewed my uncle Bob since he served in WWII, my bibliography would beà
Mitchell, Bob. Personal interview. 12 Jan. 2013 (Last, First.
Personal interview. Date of interview).
--For print and internet sources, follow this link for help: MLA List of Works Cited.

Imagine that you are
directing Macbeth. In Act V,
Scene 1—the famous sleepwalking scene—would you direct your actor to play
Lady Macbeth as a ruthless, evil queen or as a vulnerable woman? In 300-400 words, explain your decision using
lines from this scene. Post your response as a reply.
THEN, read the posts of two other students and leave 2 positive and one constructive comment for each student. Attach your comments as a reply to that person's response. Be SPECIFIC and HELPFUL.
Original posting and comments are due tomorrow in class.
Well, I implemented Edmodo in my classes, and it is actually working well. Not only are the students checking it, but they are also sending me questions and concerns via the Edmodo posts. How great is that!! Finally, I started something in my classroom that actually works. Thanks, Edmodo! (Thumbs up and a smile!)
