For Tuesday, 1 April-Read The Destruction of Culture (1041-1048) by Chris Hedges and VIEW the following: http://aplang2011.edublogs.org/files/2010/07/06hedges.pdf
The Destruction of Culture (Part II)
The Destruction of Culture (EXPLORING THE TEXT) QUESTIONS PAGES 1047-1048
You will "link" Hedges' The Destruction of Culture with Vowell's The Partly Cloudy Patriot (1057). This is an assignment that will require "close reading" of both essays-even though-you have been provided with a considerable amount of background information on the former essay-along with suggested responses to this essay-see "Exploring the Text" discussion.
At any moment during your class this week, I may distribute a writing "prompt" for these essays and/or a MC Question assessment for one OR both of these assigned readings. STUDENTS IN ALL OF THE BANDS SHOULD HAVE COMPLETED A CLOSE READING OF BOTH ESSAYS BY THE TIME THEY ENTER THE CLASSROOM ON TUESDAY, 1 APRIL! NO EXCUSES! NO EXCEPTIONS! BE PREPARED TO WRITE AND/OR DISCUSS-YOU WILL BE "LOST" IF YOU NEGLECT TO BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK TO CLASS-AS REQUIRED!
