  • Read the rest of Chapter 1 in Douglass's Narrative.
  • Complete the "Close Reading" organizer (make sure you don't forget the back!)
  • You'll complete the Weekly Reading assignment handout for Monday, but you should start working on it now! My suggestion is that you read the article and write the summary tonight.
  • Remember! Vocab quiz Thursday!

Honors English 12

  • Read Chapters 1 and 2 in Catcher in the Rye.
  • Write a thoughtful and detailed response (a full page, with quotations) to this question: How does J.D. Salinger establish the narrative voice in the first two chapters of the novel? Discuss writer's craft.
  • Complete the blog post by Friday (see the post just before this one for the video link).
  • Remember--vocab quiz Thursday!

Creative Writing

  • Read "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" to the top of page 6--we marked the spot in class. Make notes and annotations in the margins as you read.
  • Work on a draft of your short story that can be shared with a classmate on Thursday.
  • Your Reader Response will be due on Friday this week.
