Homework and Study Questions

Seniors
This week we are continuing to watch The Truman Show, and I have prepared a list of discussion questions for points. These are due on Thursday and should be answered citing specific examples from the film. I've asked all of you to take notes as you view the film because you will be writing an analysis essay at the end of the week. I will pass out a more extensive list of topics after we've finished viewing the film.

AP students: your diagnostic test answers are due on Wednesday, on a separate sheet of paper. This is your base score, and you will be working to improve upon this in the coming weeks. 

Sophomores
We are continuing to read and discuss Frankenstein this week. Your EXAM is planned for next Wednesday (4/2). You should each have a copy of the study questions, but I've also linked them here. Answers should be typed, and the schedule is on the handout. All study guide questions and vocabulary for the novel exam come from Glencoe's Study Guide for Frankenstein.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

What better way to spend Halloween than reading a story that begins with a beheading? For the next week or so, we'll be discussing Arthurian Literature, beginning with a look at " Sir Gawain and the Green Knight ," the anonymous tale of a test of courtly love, involving a supernatural green knight and a bet. For more information on the poem, read this introduction . I've also included a prose translation that you can compare with the verse translation we have in our book.

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow. Also, the senior auction project lacks one more important detail - your memories! 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.
