Homework

Seniors
The Little Brother exam is on Thursday, including 50 of the vocabulary terms. The essay on Friday is a summary/critique of the following article: Nerd Activists. And this is the TED Talk with Doctorow that I mentioned in class: How to break the Internet.

Sophomores
Read "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" for tomorrow. We will also discuss Coleridge's fragmented dream vision, "Kubla Khan."

Also, Honors students, it's time for another article summary, this one from the Norton Anthology of English Literature: Tintern Abbey, Tourism, and Romantic Landscape. Your summary should be about 250 words, typed, and formatted according to MLA. Please refer back to your handout on writing summaries. Due Monday, Feb 16th.

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