Due to presentations running much longer than expected, it will no longer be possible to get any of our classes to the Computer Lab. Therefore, it is each scholar's responsibility to get three poems (five if a couple are wimpy-wimpy Haikus) up on the Transcending the Gilded Age 2011 Groups on Goodreads.
I'd like to congratulate most of the scholars for OUTSTANDING work on their presentations! Be aware of a longer culminating quiz on the last 70 pages of the novel focusing on the most controversial aspects of
1. Why Twain re-introduces Tom Sawyer?
2. Overall views of "Huck Finn" as a satire AGAINST racism or
3. perpetuating racist stereotypes
4. Agreeing or disagreeing with the "Disney" ending
5. Othering (not just against African Americans)
6. Analyzing the ramifications of CENSORING "nigger" within the novel in today's classrooms (60 Minutes articles/essays and other articles

A minimum of three poems from last 45 days of Transcendental and Gilded Units
1. Self Poem ("Dead Poets Society" HW)
2. Poems about Gilded Age (HW from 5 Laws, 5 inventions etc.)
3. in-class Found Poem
4. PowerPoint Found Poem
5. Vocabulary #2 poem (optional)
6. extra verses done from these other assignments (some scholar had produced multiple poems)
Be sure to follow criteria - Ms. Walrond or I must read everything before submitted on MHSHS Groups on Goodreads.

The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
