Note to class of 2010 students

6/1/2009
To: IB English A1 I Students (i.e. “juniors)
From: Mr. Brandt/Mr. Stoll

Greetings:

Congratulations on finishing up your Internal Oral Presentations and the first year of IB English. The purpose of this note is to request that you save your notes from The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath, which you have read and studied this semester. One of your first assignments in the fall semester, writing a theme-paper on your American dream, will require you to incorporate knowledge of these works along with Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. If you wish to get ahead for the fall, you should read Angelou’s book which is readily available at libraries, used bookstores, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, etc… If you would like a school copy of the book, see Mr. Brandt.
