Seniors
Your homework for tonight is to go to the Occupational Outlook Handbook site and print out a description of your degree or professional area of interest. Note that some careers will be buried within a larger category (i.e. surgeon, within doctors).
Also, you need to start deciding who you will interview, and start reaching out to them asap. The sooner you conduct your interview, the sooner you can have potentially your best source for information.
We will begin writing the Career Paper essay this week in class.
Sophomores
First, the homework assignment is to read 28-44 and to answer #1-4 on p44, using complete sentences and citations from the poem (refer to line numbers). Your answers should be a short paragraph each, and this may be typed or handwritten (neatly).
Second, the HONORS assignment for this week is to read the linked article on the Staffordshire Hoard, and to write a 250-word summary of the article. This must be typed and formatted according to MLA. A summary is NOT merely the article paraphrased; rather, it is a condensed version of the original, focusing on the most important elements of the story. This is not easy: the article linked, for example, is around 1500 words in length.
Finally, for anyone who is interested in finding out more about Joseph Campbell's monomyth, or "The Hero's Journey," please check out Hero With a Thousand Faces.
