Homework

Seniors
Type your list of 15 interview questions, including the names of at least two potential interview subjects. Please type on Google Docs and share with me as Lastname-Interview. Yes, these assignments are all for grades.

For Thursday, you are to bring two printouts:
  1. something from the department where you plan to study, including possibly an outline of coursework or degree description (for example, I would have used ULL's English Department description of degree concentrations)
  2. a current event in your area of study from a credible source (I suggest Google News for this)
Sophomores
Read pages 30-44, and answer #1-4 on p44. Use complete sentences and cite from the book for full credit. Here's a link to Beowulf Online from the British Library.

On Thursday, we will continue to discuss the text through p44, and I will hand back your epics. On Friday, you will type those in class and submit for a grade. I've included the assignment below:
  • create an epic hero, including at least five of the characteristics of heros
  • integrate the monomyth by setting your hero on a journey - from describing his/her home, the call to action, mentor(s) and ending with crossing over the threshold into the unknown
  • story should be at least one page, no more than two
  • this will be typed in 12 point font and submitted via Google Docs with the name "lastname-epic"

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.

Monday Work

Sophomores We are going to discuss Ch11-16 in class Monday and finish answering the study questions for Tuesday. Seniors The first thing we will do on Monday is discuss your updated plans for school and career. A one page "addendum" to your career paper is due on Tuesday . Include whether or not you plan to pursue the career discussed in your research paper and why or why not. Also include plans for career post-graduation and any career-related plans for this summer. This paper can be informal in tone but should follow the conventions of college-level writing. Share with me via email as "lastname-addendum." We will also discuss the letter you will all write to your future selves (five years from now). Every year, the senior class writes a set of letters, and every year I mail a set from five years ago.This letter should include anything you'd like to remember about your senior year, or your goals and values right now, or your tastes and opinions. I will m...
