=8th English= The Spoon River Project Fall 2011

Students in the two sections of 8th English taught by Susan Davis/Stephen Vrla and Shelby Cherin have created pages that interpret the poems from Edgar Lee Masters's famous anthology in two ways: first, they conduct a formal character analysis of one of the personae represented in the collection; second, they interpret the poem of that character in a dramatic reading of the poem. This project was completed by students at Chinquapin Preparatory School in November 2011.

 * Language Arts III, Fall 2010**

"No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance." -- Confucius


 * Reading Plans (Language Arts III 2010)**

Students in this course will document their reading progress over the course of the semester. They will also use this wiki as a resource for sharing reading selections, for asking questions of their peers, and for supporting each other in becoming more successful college-bound readers.

Each page should include the following sections, with dated commentaries that engage with the material and invite the engagement of other readers in some way:


 * What I'm Reading Now**
 * What I've Read**
 * What I'm Thinking About**

Students are encouraged to pursue discussions on the "discussion" tab on each page. You will be considered a successful reader if you learn from your reading, encourage and support others in their reading, and improve in your reading comprehension skills by the end of the semester.


 * Goal: 10 articles or one book by the end of each quarter**


 * Editorial pages have been added. Please include links so that other students can pursue reading on these subjects!**
