Homework

Seniors
Your assignment for tonight is to come up with a viable topic for your Problem/Solution paper, to be written in class on Friday. This week's in-class activities will include researching and documentation, including evaluating online sources. One of your assignments during our week of revision is an annotated bibliography, which will state the reliability and relevance of every source cited in your paper.

Sophomores
We are reading selections from the Exeter Book, a collection of manuscripts from around 950 AD. Your homework is to read the selections on pages 84-97 and to answer questions #1-4 on 89 and 93. I should remind you that although homework is optional, it is a good source for exam questions!

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.
