Homework: October 16

Honors English 11 (A)

  • You have an essay draft due tomorrow! Hooray!
  • Remember, do the very best you can, and bring in a HARD COPY of your paper tomorrow. We'll look at some model work, and we'll do some peer/group work. It's going to be great!
  • Study your vocab words--we'll do an activity with them on Friday.
  • Read your independent book.
English 12 (B)
  • Start reading Room. You're reading up to the point that we marked in class, on page 13. Pay attention to the narrative voice...we're going to be talking a lot about our narrator, as well as his experiences and understanding.
  • Read your independent book.
Honors English 11 (D)
  • Today, we spent some time looking at first drafts of your essays. You got some initial feedback from your classmates. BRING THOSE DRAFTS, with sticky notes, with you on Friday, so we can continue to talk about them. 
  • Spend some time to start reading through the notes, and make some revisions to your paper. Build your introduction, revise your thesis, and dig into the language/examples any more.
  • Study those vocab words--we'll do an activity to practice them on Friday.
