Homework: June 5

Honors English 11
  • It was great to listen to you all discuss The Things They Carried today, in our "speed-conversating" format. :) You shared some great insight with each other, showing that you have complex and thoughtful understandings of the characters and stories. As I've told you, you'll continue to work with and study the text in groups. We're off to a great start!
  • Tonight, you're writing a "semi-formal" response for The Things They Carried. You're choosing one of the prompts that we discussed in class today, and exploring it in a one-page response. Include specific details, and make sure you analyze what you think and why. You might discuss shifts in your thinking, and/or the way your conversation(s) today influenced what you think and why you think it.
  • Remember, too, that you need to complete your Nate Fick/Tim O'Brien interview response. Click here to go to the prompts!
