Homework: January 30

Honors English 11

  • Revise your "Death by Landscape" paragraph, if necessary.
  • Tomorrow we start talking about Sherman Alexie--bring your copy of his book with you, if you've got it!
  • Bring three words to class tomorrow--words that you don't know the meanings of, but want to. Where can you find them? Anywhere! Listen to conversations, check through a book, pay attention to Mike and Tommy (and/or Scal) as they broadcast the Celtics game tonight. We'll talk in class tomorrow about the words you've heard, and we'll start learning some words!
  • For Friday, choose and acquire an independent reading book. We'll read on Friday. Hooray!
English 12
  • Finish the revision of your Statement of Purpose--a final draft, typed, is due tomorrow.
  • Work on a revision of your "On Turning Eighteen" poem (remember, it's modeled on Billy Collins's poem "On Turning Ten"). A final draft, typed, is due on Friday.
  • For Friday, choose and acquire an independent reading book. We'll read on Friday. I love Friday!
