Honors English 11
- As I told you in class today, you have the privilege tonight of reading what I like to call "The Most Awesomely Awkward Chapter in Literature." That's chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby, in case you missed the memo.
- As you read, keep an eye out for those categories on the Scavenger Hunt handout--jot a note to yourself when you find one!
- Also as you read, keep an eye out for that awesome vocabulary from the handout I provided last week. Learn those words--they're good ones. Don't believe me? Ask Mrs. Wallingford when you see her for SAT prep.
English 12
- Frankenstein starts off slowly, I know. Letters from the Arctic...blah blah blah...Victor Frankenstein's whole background...family...school...alchemy...science...blah blah blah. You people want action! (I mean, I might argue that an Arctic adventures, scientific discoveries, and family joys and tragedies all fit the bill, but I digress...) Today in class, we found the action--Victor Frankenstein figured out how to create life from death! And now he'll talk about what he did with that information! Now THAT's action, for sure.
- That paragraph was a really wordy way to say this: your homework is to finish chapter 4 of Frankenstein. Keep an eye out for the 6 "signposts" that we talked about today in class, and add anything to your chart that you find in Chapter 4.
