Step 1: Finish reading Wuthering Heights. Your reading is due the Monday after break.
Step 2:
You will be reading a critical essay of your choice from an academic source and writing an essay analyzing that essay and Wuthering Heights. I recommend using JSTOR for your research, although some of you may have a book with critical essays in it. Your essay will be 2-3 pages (doubled spaced, and MLA) with the first half presenting a summary of the critical essay using quotations from it as evidence of its premise. The second half of the essay is your evaluation of the validity of the essay's claims using quotations from WH to support your opinion. Please note that the second half of the essay must be written in formal voice, so no "I think that..." allowed. This is a time for you to learn from and model the critical voices that you have read.
You MUST include a works cited page and this essay will be submitted online through Turnitin and graded on comletion/requirements. Please do not submit an essay shorter than 2 pages.
This essay is due April 3rd.

Due Wednesday 3/18
Your ivory colored progress sheet needs to be completed and turned in on Wednesday.
We will most likely only have time to discuss what we have already read in WH on Wednesday, so no additional reading is due today. You will need to have the book finished for the Monday after Spring Break.
Oh, and REGISTER AND PAY FOR YOUR AP TEST!
