Assignment 4: Quick Write

1. Assignment 3: Make sure you have finished your Captain Keller Business Letter. Remember that I am looking for proper business letter format and your inclusion of all necessary aspects.

2. Quick Write: This is not as formal writing as the letter. Choose one of the following prompts, brainstorm ideas in your head or on scratch paper, and then write (type) for 10-15 minutes. You should have 2-4 paragraphs. I will be grading you based on the point(s) you make.

*In the Miracle Worker, do you think Helen's worst handicap is deafness or blindness?
*What is the climax to the play?
*How did the institution where Annie grow up make her "strong"?
*Why do you think water, "wah, wah," is the first word Helen recognized?
*How does Annie think Helen can come out of her shell like a chick?
*Who are Annie's antagonists (opponents) throughout her life?

3. Vocabulary: Go to Quizlet here, and first study the vocabulary words and definitions by "flipping" the flashcards and moving the arrows back and forth. After you study the set of words 1-2 times, you may test yourself, play Scatter or Space Race.

As always, please leave a comment to this post letting me know what you completed!
