Juniors: ULM Library @ 4:00 on Sunday

Once you find the library's site, whether on campus or off, go to "Databases by Subject" and select "English." This will give you a list of all the databases ULM's library subscribes to that relate to English and Literature. JSTOR is the database we discussed in class, but there are several if you just explore a bit.

One note of advice regarding databases: the results lists usually give you choices when viewing; if you choose PDF then you can save onto your USB drive and then read and print at home.

Bring all relevant sources to class on Monday, and we will discuss how to use them. This means you should read through your sources to see if they relate to your topic BEFORE you come to class. Please DO NOT wait until you get to school to crowd into the library and use every bit of ink and paper. If at all possible, print AT HOME. Thanks.

Seniors ~ Three (Small) Writing Assignments

As you work on your memory books this week and next, you should also be working on the end-of-year writing assignments. I've given you a handout (if you were on class): A letter to your future self -- imagine yourself four years from now...where will you be, and what will you be doing? Is it what you planned? What do you hope to remember about NOW? What's important? Address your future self in a letter (standard form), and enclose it in a self-address envelope. I won't read it, but I do need to know you've done it, so don't seal it. A reflective paragraph that will serve as the introduction to your memory book. What is your overall impression of your high school years? What do you want to remember most? Finally, write a poem about your senior class. The form and tone of the poem is up to you: funny, serious or sad; rhyming couplets, ballad, or free verse. However you write it, though, please take it seriously. A copy of this poem should go in your memory ...

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow. Also, the senior auction project lacks one more important detail - your memories! We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO. Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
