Daily Journal: What is the "American Dream," and how do you define it? Yesterday Dr. King spoke about the American Dream. We will be looking at issues of justice in most of the literature we study from American literature this year. Your journal is to discuss the concept of the American Dream.

We have many recent assignments in which you are in the process of completing. Since you are in various stages, work forward to submit these today:

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards worksheet;

Comparison sheet on Jonathan Edwards’ and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speeches. These are constructed responses. Haiku: These need to be submitted today and done in a very polished style. The topic is nature or the natural world. There are three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. The illustration needs to show effort. The assignment is worth ten points for the haiku and ten points for the illustration. (If you have been absent the daily journals for the past few days have been: 1. "Be yourself, an original is better than a copy." 2. A journal on the US Constitution, and . Write about your future dreams.)
