Classwork (Homework 3/4/11)

Period 1
Reread La Relacion, popcorn style, as a class. (Collaborate! I know you can do it)

Then, think of a memory that stands out in your mind vividly; a memory that perhaps involved your inner strength to overcome that event. (since the explorers clearly had to do that to get by)

Your assignment is to TYPE (not hand write) a mini narrative using at least 10 sensory details about the memory mentioned above.
  • You need to use two details for each sense.
  • You need to italicize each of them.
  • You must give your memory a title.
  • Assignment must be at least one page double-spaced, 12pt font, Times New Roman.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN WRITING!!!! YOU MUST MAKE A LIST OF THINGS YOU REMEMBER. THESE COULD BE PEOPLE, THINGS, EVENTS, A STEP BY STEP LIST OF WHAT HAPPENED.

Title it "Brainstorm" and STAPLE IT TO THE BACK OF YOUR TYPED WRITING ASSIGNMENT.

Period 3
Type a 1 page, double spaced, 12 pt font, Times New Roman class essay telling me the following.
  • If you had been Olaudah Equiano, do you think you would have survived or what do you think would have been your fate?
  • Have you ever felt like you have been a slave or experienced things that are similar to the ones that he describes? If so, how did that feel?
  • If not, explain what you think it must feel like and why do you think you would feel that way?
