Homework: December 20

English 11

  • You should make sure that these three things are completed before you come to class tomorrow:
    • Read "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong"
    • Complete the chart about Mary Anne and Mark
    • Complete the handout (white paper) from class today
  • You may want to work on your response to the story (What are THREE big ideas that you can take away from the story "Sweetheart..."? HOW does O'Brien get those ideas across to you as an audience?) Remember, your response can be written, or visual (mind map, etc.). Show me what you know--include analysis and proof!
Honors English 12
  • Enjoy the holiday party!
  • For Wednesday the 2nd, complete the following:
    • Find a picture of yourself as a kid! (Read the assignment sheet and model essay for "The Stranger in the Photo..." for more information about why.)
    • Read Frankenstein, Letters 1-4 (that's pages 1-16). Use the Mary Shelley packet to help guide your reading. Remember, as I told you in class, this is a frame narrative--the letters help frame the story.
Creative Writing
  • We'll finish our film study tomorrow. 
  • Many of you have work to get in to me, so DO IT!
