Homework

Seniors
We will continue to discuss your Career Paper.

Your homework is to print something out from a degree program associated with your field of study. Start with a university you'd like to attend, and try searching the site for your major. Then, explore the links for entrance requirements and scholarship opportunities. You should also get a sense of what classes you will have to take in order to earn your degree. Print anything relevant and bring to class.

We will begin writing the first draft on Wednesday.

Sophomores
Please read 45-51 in your textbook, and answer the questions on p51. Use complete sentences, and cite lines from the poem. Your answers should be at least three sentences per answer.

Fine Art Survey
Your assignment is to preview Chapter Two. We will work on homework in class.

Finally, write a poem about your senior class.  The form and tone of the poem is up to you: funny, serious or sad; rhyming couplets, ballad, or free verse.  However you write it, though, please take it seriously.  A copy of this poem should go in your memory ...

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.
