Homework

Sophomores
Finish reading Frankenstein, and complete the questions for the final chapters (handout). We will finish discussing the novel tomorrow, review on Wednesday, and take the exam on Thursday.

Seniors
If you'd like to get a head start on this week's assignment, read the following document:
English IV: Tech Presentation
Basically, you will all be creating presentations using Google Slides, which requires a gmail account. These accounts are free and easy to use. You get access to Google Drive and Docs, as well. Moreover, this will allow you to use the new Chrome Books in my room.

Instead of presenting your projects (which usually means the presenter reads the slides), I will make them available via a public folder. In other words, the files will be PUBLIC. We will spend some time on Thursday viewing your work.

For citations, refer to Diane Hacker's site: Research and Documentation Online and, for citing YouTube, Purdue's OWL (bottom of page).

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.
