Homework: January 3

English 11

  • Finish your journal entry on "Speaking of Courage"
  • Read "Notes"--be ready to write about it in class tomorrow!
Honors English 12
  • Read Frankenstein chapters 5-7
  • Write your journal entry--remember, 10 minutes!
Creative Writing
  • You're going to attempt a "Two-Voice Found Poem"--don't worry, it's totally a real thing!
    • Here are your steps:
        • Go through both "Hochzeit" and "Counting Bats" and highlight words and phrases that you like, that sound interesting, that are unique and compelling and cool.
      • Then, pick one to start with. Include a word/phrase (or two, or three...) on the left-hand side, arranged all poem-like.
      • Next, find a word/phrase (or two, or three) from the second story on the right-hand side. Leave space so that it's clear what order everything should be read in.
      • Continue going back and forth and back and forth...
    • Spend about 20 minutes on this...see what you can come up with!
    • Check out the awesome picture of a very quick and basic example!
