Weekend Homework

Sophomores
Read Act Two of The Crucible and be ready for a reading comprehension quiz. You should also be making flashcards of all vocabulary.

Juniors
You have a quiz on "The General Prologue" on Monday, including the notes about the context and the author. Your homework is to complete vocabulary exercises A&B on 138, to read the essay on 139-40, and to answer #1-3 on 140. We will begin working on this in class Friday.

Seniors
The final draft of your "Problem" paper is due on Monday. Your works cited page should include at least three credible sources (each of which is cited in the paper). The next paper evaluates the "solutions" to the problem, so be prepared to talk about that in class on Monday.

We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
