Thursday, April 11- library / Black Boy essay

Making connections
We are in the library today writing on Black Boy. You will not have access, nor time, to reference your book. Specifically, you were given a heads-up on Tuesday to select one or two incidents in Wright's biography and make a connection to a similar historical or contemporary situation. It may be personal.  Make sure you describe the situations vividly. (active verbs, descriptive adjectives) The parallels need not be situational, but may focus on theme. You should have a minimum of 300 words. Send along when you are finished or drop it off on my desk BEFORE SCHOOL on Friday, after which time, you will receive only 65 points. Grades are good this marking period; keep it up. The rubric for this is based on content, organization, language use (vocabulary), language conventions  (capitalization, subject /verb agreement, punctuation)
