This Week

Sophomores
For Monday, read chapters 17-21 and answer questions #1-5 in the study guide for those chapters. Read the rest of the novel for Tuesday. As we get to the end of the novel, don't forget to study the vocabulary terms. There are about 35 terms, 20 of which will be on your exam. Your exam will be in Wednesday.

We will work on your literary analysis essays in class on Thursday and Friday. The essays are due Friday, printed by the end of class and shared with my email. Topics will be discussed Wednesday after the exam. 

Seniors
We will be watching Truman Show Monday through Wednesday, organizing evidence on Thursday, and writing critical analysis essays on Friday. This is your last essay of the terms.  Next week, we will work on your memory book projects (details to come).

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.
