Homework: March 12

English 11 (F)

• Revise and edit your letter! It's due tomorrow.
• When you've finished it, on Google Docs, go to FILE, then DOWNLOAD AS. Choose PDF Document (.pdf), then save that on your computer. Send an email to the copy center (copy.center@hudson.k12.ma.us), attach the document, and politely request that they print it out for you. (Don't just attach it--write a nice message, and make sure to say thank you!) Then, you can just go pick it up! Remember, you will not print out your letter at the beginning of class tomorrow--it will be counted as late if you do so.
• Read your independent book!

• We spent some quality time discussing: the creation's knowledge about society and himself; the ways in which he learns these things; and, the strategies Mary Shelley uses as a writer to share this information. (You can check the notes, below.) One of the major realizations we had is that the creation is really struggling with the question: WHO AM I, and WHERE DO I BELONG?
• Tonight, read chapter 15. 
• Also, I threw out a philosophical question for you, and we'll discuss it tomorrow: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMAN? Some initial responses had to do with emotional/personality qualities (like, to have flaws), as well as biological ones (like, to have opposable thumbs). We'll keep talking about that...
• Read your independent book!

• Tomorrow, we'll continue to discuss the awesome awkwardness of Chapter 5. You did some good thinking and mapping today of the emotional and behavioral roller coaster that was Jay Gatsby...
• Read the first half of chapter 6 in Gatsby.
• Additionally, you should finish up your vocab word sheet. Those are due tomorrow, and we'll start studying them!
• Then, read your independent book!

• Some of you missed class today. Hope that the Spanish field trip was good! You missed the Letters through chapter 10 quiz, which you'll need to make up. Please see me to set a date to make up the quiz--you need to do so within a week.
• Read chapters 11 and 12 of Frankenstein--the frame story structure continues. Robert Walton is telling the story that Victor Frankenstein told him, and within that, Victor's creation will now tell his story. Phew!
• Read your independent book!
