Homework: February 14

Honors English 11 (A and D)

• D block folks--sorry I missed you this morning! According to the sub, you were "amazingly well behaved" and you know to read chapter 2, you've "been told 3x." :) So, that's good!
• A and D block folks--as you enjoy your vacation, find just a little time to read Gatsby. For the first section, you focused on Nick as a narrator. For chapter 2, pay attention to the setting, both the time and the place. Here's a handout from Harvard (you know, the fancy university) about reading and annotating...it's useful! 
• Read your independent reading book!

English 11 (F)

• Your task for the break: Finish Room!
• We'll discuss it in class on Tuesday, and we'll have a test on Wednesday. Then, we'll work on a project. 
• Read your independent book!

Honors English 12 (G)

• Read the "Meet Mary Shelley" packet. It gives some helpful background, especially to help you figure out what's going on as the novel starts.
• Read and annotate Frankenstein, Letters 1-4. Remember, the language is going to be different from the last thing you read, so don't freak out! You'll get used to it. Slow down, and annotate carefully. Here's that handout from Harvard, that talks about annotation (you got a copy in class today). Your job is to pay attention to these letters--who's writing? What's he saying, and how does he feel? The chart and the questions will help you figure things out...make sure you can answer those questions.
• Read your independent book!
