Today - finish writing your precis as a group. We will present these and discuss them. Then have you individually rewrite them and post them on your blogs.
After rewrites you need to start reading, "On Seeing England for the First Time" by Jamaica Kincaid. I want you to think about speaker, audience, subject (who is each here); her thesis, purpose, tone, mode (what type of mode does this fit), and the occasion for the essay. Don't worry this isn't a test. Tomorrow you'll come together as a class and discuss these things.
Remember to start reading news articles and watching current events.
HW: "On Seeing England for the First Time" and look up your new vocabulary.
