Homework

Seniors
Please take some time to review run-on sentences and fragments. One good interactive resource is Grammar Bytes. We will cover appositives (in your textbook) tomorrow in class.

Art Survey
Exam on 6.1 and 6.2. Homework is the section review from each (15 questions total).

 Sophomores
Your honors essays are due tomorrow by the beginning of class. Type on Google Docs and share with the name "Lastname - Honors 1" (don't use the internet for help - only leads to problems with plagiarism).

Your homework for tonight is to complete the study guide for the quiz tomorrow. Fill it out and bring it to class. Your quiz will be worth around 50 points.

Finally, honors students have an assignment due on Friday, October 21st - a summary of an article on Tintagel castle, theorized to be the home of the "real" King Arthur.

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.
