As of this week, this is what you should have done. We did a Joliffe on "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell on page 529 in your book. We answered the Discussion questions on page 539-540 and did the questions on Rhetoric and style. We read together and did a Joliffe on "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan. We read "Bilingualism in America: English Should Be the Official Language." We answered the Exploring the Text questions and wrote a one page essay on whether or not you agree or disagree that English should be our national language. We started our research papers, so, if you don't have a topic, find one, make sure you have it in class. We spent a lot of time going over these topics in class, I hope you have a few down ready to discuss so you can start. I'm working on posting the layout for the project soon. Any questions, you know where to find me.
