English 11 (F)
- We're working our way through Gatsby! Remember, this is all good reading practice, and it's on a really good story. So, stick with it, and keep trying, and work hard.
- Read chapter 2, to page 34. Make sure you annotate and mark up your questions and observations. Use the pink handout to guide you. Write summaries/important ideas in the margins, and write specific questions. Go back to chapter 1 and revisit that, too.
- You can rewatch/finish the John Green video...I know he goes fast, but there's some helpful info!
Honors English 12 (G)
- Today in class, we focused on the "Is Frankenstein's creation human?" question. You have written a draft response to that question, and now you'll do a revision. Remember to add in a thoughtful counterargument and rebuttal.
- Read and annotate chapter 21. Remember, I will be checking annotations! Here are a couple of questions to consider once you're done, to check your comprehension:
- There's been a murder! Summarize what's known, and what Victor experiences (physically and emotionally) as a result.
- Describe the role Mr. Kirwin plays in Victor's experience.
-
Explain what Victor means when he talks to his father about the “destiny of the most horrible kind” that Victor thinks “hangs over” him (222).
- Explain how Victor is acquitted of the murder, and discuss his emotional response to his acquittal.
- You can revisit the Prezi, below, for more information about counterarguments and rebuttals. Also, the picture of the discussion regarding what it means to be human is below. Remember, this was a brainstorm/group conversation. Not everyone will agree with all of these ideas
