Week of September 13, 2013
11th Academic English
This week we'll continue our study of the narrative accounts of early American settlers.  You will read and take notes on a selection from "The General History of Virginia," pp. 72-77 and on a selection from "Of Plymouth Plantation," pp. 78-84.  This is difficult reading, so you will need to take your time with both selections.  We will discuss both selections in class and you'll be able to add to or clarify your notes at that time.  Later in the week, you will take a test on all of the information about Native American Literature and Early American Literature.  Don't forget this week is Homecoming Spirit Week 2013!!  Have fun and participate as much as possible!
