Week at a glance January 28 - February 1, 2013

 Attention must be paid..." This week we'll wrap up the KS Writing assignment while getting into our first official reading unit of the semester: Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.. It's a tale of a salesman desperately aiming for the American dream brought down by his own tragic flaws. As we read the play in class, we'll be focusing on the relationships between the characters and how Miller shows how events in the past inescapably shape our future.  Our work for the unit will involve study guides, a unit exam, and a literary analysis essay.
