Homework: May 28

Honors English 11

  • You're continuing to make your way through the book The Things They Carried, using the schedule provided in class to monitor your progress. 
  • All written work will be due on Tuesday, June 4. You are encouraged to do this work according to the schedule provided in class, and you may pass in work to me at any point. If you need any help organizing yourself, please check in with me. These assignments include:
    • Your reading notes for each chapter. That might be sticky notes in the book, a list of important ideas, questions, quotations, chapter maps, etc. Remember, I encourage you to develop a strategy that works for you, which might mean that you alter your strategy as you progress through the book. SparkNotes, and "mental notes" (meaning, they're all up there in your head!) don't count for this assignment...
    • The activities and responses that have been provided along the way:
      • "Rainy River" map
      • "True War Story" response
      • "Sweetheart" diagram
