Mrs. Cole CP English III Creative Writing Room 300
Brighton High School ~ 8045 Highway 51 South – Brighton, TN 38011
Dear Parents and Students: The year is rapidly coming to a close, and your student will be a senior!!! I continue to marvel at the difference this year has made in the maturity of your student. I have truly enjoyed my classes this year. As we work toward the end of May, of course I will be pushing them hard to prepare for the senior year. This last nine weeks will be dedicated to ACT and vocabulary in preparation for the grammar portion of the ACT and to the study of Truman Capote’s masterpiece: In Cold Blood. Students will also focus their attention to MLA formatting as they write a character analysis. EXTRA CREDIT If you read or hear any of the vocabulary words from any unit we have covered, just write the sentence as you read it (use the MLA format to document) or as you heard the word used. Be certain to include the source and page numbers if this is a written document. Students will receive one extra credit point for each vocabulary word detected. I will add points to the Summer Reading test, or any quizzes or homework assignments. Creative Writing: We are taking a field trip to Union University on March 25^th. We’ve begun the 2^nd part of the Creative Writing study. Your students will learn new forms and styles of writing this last part of the year, from narratives, and poetry to playwrights. The young men and women are quite talented. I hope they are sharing their creative work with you.
