Homework: May 1

Welcome to May, everyone!

Honors English 11 BLOCK 1


  • Today in class, we started reading the Miller essay (essay #1) called "The Jazz Age" from the packet you received. Tonight, you'll finish that essay, and read the essay #4 in the packet as well. You'll choose to either annotate each essay, or you'll take Cornell notes (take one set of notes for each essay).

  • Check yesterday's post for a reminder about what's due tomorrow. NOTE: You're going to read the essay called "The Jazz Age"--it's NOT the whole packet! :) Just the first essay. Also, the copies are a little messed up--you'll notice that the first page is the same front and back, so cross out the back of the first page.

  • In order to clarify our understanding of the story, you're re-reading chapter 20, making sure that you are taking notes in the margins. Notes should identify questions that you have about the text, and they should provide reference for you so that when we discuss the story, you can recall details and important plot and character events. 
  • In addition to re-reading chapter 20, you're also reading the first few pages of chapter 21, continuing to annotate and make notes.
