Homework: January 9

English 11
  • In class today, you read the story "The Ghost Soldiers." If you didn't finish it, that's your first step. Make sure you read the story, not the Sparknotes. You're better than that...
  • You're going to write a thoughtful and detailed response to the story. You'll include PROOF for your STATEMENT, then you'll ANALYZE all of that proof. You know the drill.
    • Write a response: Which of the following ideas is the story "The Ghost Soldiers" MOST about? Explain your answer.

      LOYALTY     JEALOUSY     PRIDE     IMAGINATION     FEAR     FRIENDSHIP     REVENGE     BELONGING     HATE     TRANSFORMATION

Honors English 12
  • Continue to read Frankenstein! For tomorrow, it's through ch. 20, and a response.
  • Make sure you're working on your "Stranger in the Photo" essay, and your portfolio.

Creative Writing
  • Write a poem--use the 2 sentences/phrases you picked in class to help develop it.
    • Remember, you want to provide us with some description, and with a "revelation"/realization (though this doesn't need to be something monumental!).
