How would you describe yourself as a student? 3. What do you hope to get out of this course (besides a passing grade)? 4. What are you good at in English? 5.

  5. I have questions / Need help! • I am absurdly plugged in,so I’m easy to reach. • Email: fkiehl@rsu67.org • Class website: http://mskiehl.weebly.com • I will be setting up an Adult Ed page where you will find slides, handouts, reading assignments, quiz dates, and class dates.

  8. What you can expect… • Reading outside of class • All writing, analyzing, etc. will be done within the classroom itself • We will be writing an essay at the end of the course, but that will be done over several class periods in class. • We will be busy! There will be close reading and discussion and media and historical connections…it will expand beyond just discussing the book.

  9. Writing Samples • To get a sense of how you write, especially if I haven’t taught you before, it’s important to get a writing sample. • Choose one of the quotes below to write a response to. Do you agree or disagree? What does it make you think about? • We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation.  ~Francois De La Rochefoucauld • Believe those who are seeking the truth.  Doubt those who find it.  ~Andre Gide

  10. Break Time • Each class we will take a 10 minute break part way through the class. • Stretch your legs, run to the restroom, buy a drink, etc. • You must be back in 10 minutes to start again. • If you all as a class do not adhere to the 10 minute break, we will discontinue having them. (We all want a 10 minute break! Ms. Kiehl wants to get her coffee!)

  11. Text Introduction – Journal Prompt • Respond to both of the following questions. Each day you will find a Journal Prompt on the board for you to answer. • What does it mean to be patriotic? • Is it better to be a coward and live or die fighting for your country?
