Homework

Juniors
Please finish reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by Monday. Your last homework is due then, and we will discuss part three. The exam, including vocabulary, will be on Tuesday, May 8th.

You will write in-class essays on the novel on Friday, May 11th. I've given 6th period copies of the prompt(s), and 1st period students can get a copy from Mrs. D in the morning. You should bring your books and a brief outline but NO prewritten drafts.

Sophomores (update!)
Homework for Fahrenheit 451 is due on Wednesday. We will discuss the 2nd half of the book Monday and Tuesday, and the exam as been moved from Wednesday to Friday, May 11th. I will be out on Tuesday, and we have the ring ceremony on Thursday, so we will review on Wednesday.

Note to parents: All of the homework for the final nine weeks is optional; therefore, incomplete or late homework will not be accepted and will not negatively affect grades.

As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.

Include whether or not you plan to pursue the career discussed in your research paper and why or why not. Also include plans for career post-graduation and any career-related plans for this summer. This paper can be informal in tone but should follow the conventions of college-level writing. Share with me via email as "lastname-addendum." We will also discuss the letter you will all write to your future selves (five years from now). Every year, the senior class writes a set of letters, and every year I mail a set from five years ago.This letter should include anything you'd like to remember about your senior year, or your goals and values right now, or your tastes and opinions.
