 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">After several weeks, students will have written several different essays over different topics in World Literature. They will have written an essay over the idea of good and evil in the __Scarlet Letter,__ a character analysis over __Antigone,__ and an essay over friendship and betrayal in __Julius Caesar.__ After each essay, students will upload them into their community wiki. Here they will receive feedback through discussion boards. This will enable them to receive feedback before the eportfolio assignment. They will have rubrics to follow in order to give feedback. Special Education students will be in a group together with the inclusion teacher. We will focus on writing coherent introductions. As for the Honors and Regular Education students, they will be mixed into groups and be expected to write coherent essays. **
