Homework: April 29

Honors English 11 BLOCK 1

• Today in class we worked on your mind maps. They're looking good! You'll use them to develop your idea for your Gatsby essay. Tonight, your homework is to write a one-page, informal response, in which you address the topics below:

This is a really nice photo of the instructions I wrote on the board..

• Because our schedule is going to be all kinds of crazy for the next couple of days, I gave you all a bunch of things to do. Here's a quick run-down:
• For all of you, your homework is to revise your paragraph that you wrote about connections between "Prufrock" and Gatsby. You looked at some model papers in class, and you worked with a group to annotate. Use the notes you made to revisit your own response and make it better!
• For those of you who will be out tomorrow at the college fair: 
• Check back tomorrow afternoon...I'll post an update about what we did. You should work on the Mind Map assignment--that's something we'll definitely do in class tomorrow.
• We'll also write the one-page response (the homework assignment that Block 1 is doing tonight). 
• You'll read about literary criticism...it's going to be great!

• Your job tonight is to read Chapters 18 and 19 in Frankenstein. Look for the specific things I noted in class today (you should have them written down in your notes).
• We're getting toward the end of the novel! Hooray! Remember, we talked about how you'll want to be on the lookout for current day connections (think major themes, topics like identity development, nature v. nurture, scientific discovery). You'll need an interesting connection for your Frankenstein  project!
