Honors English 11
- I gave you our weekly agenda today, which lists our major upcoming events and tasks.
- Here are upcoming due dates:
- Wednesday: Read and fill out the graphic organizer for the poem "Genetics"
- Thursday: Read and annotate "This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, AZ"
- Friday: Complete weekly reading assignment, "Sherman Alexie's Many Tribes"
- My suggestions for what to complete tonight (even though nothing is technically due tomorrow):
- Read "Genetics" and fill in the organizer
- Read and annotate the Alexie essay "Sherman Alexie's Many Tribes," perhaps completing the summary

- We worked in class today on a response to the question below. For tomorrow, please write a draft of your response. It should be a full draft!
- What have the 5 texts we've read so far taught us about the experience of growing up?
- To answer this question, you must reference all 5 texts, and you should include at least 3 "lessons" or ideas. Remember the model we did in class today, and remember the graphic organizer idea that I gave you.
- You should include specific details from each text; these might be specific quotations, or might be paraphrased details.
- The texts are:
- "The Journey" by Mary Oliver
- "This Is How I Remember It" by Betsy Kemper
- excerpt from Homewood by John Edgar Wideman
- "On Turning Ten" by Billy Collins
- excerpt from Room by Emma Donoghue
