Homework: February 11

Honors English 11 (A and D)

• Read The Great Gatsby! Hooray! By next class, you should read AND ANNOTATE up to page 19. Make notes on the text about your OBSERVATIONS, QUESTIONS and CONNECTIONS. Interact with that text! I promise, you'll understand, and love, it better that way. Here's a link to an online version, in case you forget yours at school:  http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/f/fitzgerald/f_scott/gatsby/
• Focus, as you read, on the narrative voice. Who is telling this story? And, how is he telling it?
• Oh yeah...and, study your vocabulary! You've been doing that for weeks now, so it shouldn't be a big deal. We have quizzes coming up...A block on Thursday, D block on Friday. If there's a Snowmageddontastrophepocalyse on Thursday, both quizzes will be on Friday.
• And, read your independent reading book!

English 12 (B)

• It's Franksenstein time! No, it's not a zombie book, nor is it "that yellow thing" (although, that description is a little more accurate than you think). You should read AND ANNOTATE Letter 1 and Letter 2. Make sure you take notes, and remember, you'll need to read slowly. It's going to be a bit different from "The Body."
