Homework: May 2

Honors English 11

  • Hooray for being back on schedule! This post applies to both Block 1 and Block 3, because your homework is the same.
  • Your homework for tonight is to read essays number 2 and 3 in the packet of Gatsby critical essays. Annotate each one carefully, or complete Cornell notes for each essay.
  • Tomorrow in class, we'll work on developing your essay topics and arguments. You'll figure out what you want to write about, and what you'll say about your topic. Remember, this type of idea-development is going to take a while--don't worry if it's all a bit nebulous in your mind right now. Ideas that are super-obvious aren't really worth writing about; you want something new, something interesting, and something focused.

  • Read Chapter 22 in Frankenstein. Big things happen here! Be ready to talk about it tomorrow.
