It's time for your next blog. I apologize for the delay in putting your prompts up. This week English 9 will be writing on a different prompt than Everyone else (the three gentlemen in both need only write the English 9 post). Finally, remember that your posts must be at least 250 words (shoot for at least four good paragraphs), utilize good writing conventions, and demonstrate thought put into the topic.
The English 9 prompt will deal with Monster by Walter Dean Myers. Prompt: What effect does the style of which the novel is written have on the story-telling? Steve uses two flashbacks - the first to his school's film club and the second to a scene in a park. Find out about Stuyvesant High School. How does this school compare to other schools in New York City? What dos this tell us about Steve? How does the second flasback affect the story?
For English 10 and 11, you may select any of the following prompts or come up with you own.
1. Write about something that shocked you within the first three weeks of school. Why did it do so?
2. What is the best and worst thing so far about this school year? How are you going to change the worst thing and make it better?
3. Within reason, what is something you really want to do or learn about in English? Persuade me we should do this.
4. Pick a person from history or literature that you want to have a meal with? Why did you pick this person and what meal would you have?
