Honors American Literature - Week of February 11-February 15, 2019 

Weekly Learning Goals  Focus Standards 

Use new vocabulary in writing. Use context clues to define new vocabulary. Analyze feedback
and apply corrections to new writing.
ELAGSE11-12W4: ​Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate
to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific expectations for writing types are defined in standards 1–3 above.)
ELAGSE11-12W7: ​Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a
self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple
sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.​ ELAGSE11-12W8: ​Gather
relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess
the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the
text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and over reliance on any one source and following a
standard format for citation.
