Weekend

Seniors
You should be halfway through MAUS at this point, and you should expect a quiz on the first four chapters on Monday. We will continue to discuss the novel, and your exam will be next Wednesday (possibly Thursday). Remember also to study the next thirty vocabulary terms for a test next Friday.

Sophomores
We will continue to work on your Frankenstein essays in class on Monday. Based on what you did today in class, you should know what you now need from the book. Your homework this weekend is to return to the text for more information. Mark your book with post-its or tabs; at minimum, you should select your examples and evidence before you come to class, so that you can revise your draft as you type it. A good way to search for examples is to use your study guide, which points you a chapter range.

If you have any questions this weekend, please let me know.

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.
