Homework: March 27

English 11 (F)

  • Read the first half of chapter 4. (I think I said to the bottom of page 74.) Keep an eye on those characters we studied, and the ways that they're described as the book continues on.
  • Read your independent book!
Honors English 12 (G)
  • Finish reading Frankenstein! It's all going to wrap up...pay attention to how it does so.
  • Keep in mind the short critical reading we did regarding the idea of doppelgangers in the novel. Annotate your text for some evidence that either supports or refutes the claim made by the article. Also, where does Walton fit in to this picture?
  • Additionally, read the very short articles about "Romanticism" and "Gothic" in the packet.
  • FINALLY, read your independent book!
Honors English 11 (A)
  • Complete two assignments: 
    • The "beginning and ending" handout. Annotate each passage, making notes about what you notice about the beginning, now that you've finished the book, as well as about the connections between the description of the opening and the ending of the story. Complete the chart on the last page with your insight!
    • Read and make some notes on the handout "Daisy and Myrtle: What's Behind the Plant Names?" It's from the HGTV/DIY Network, and it's actually pretty insightful!
  • On Monday, we'll continue our discussion about the horrible people in the novel. Crazy how Fitzgerald could write such a beautiful novel about such horrible people, eh?
  • Read your independent book!
English 12 (B)
  • Read chapters 21 and 22 in Frankenstein. There's gonna be ANOTHER trial here...Victor's, this time! Mr. Kirwin's a pretty important character here. And then, not long after...a ceremony!
  • Read your independent book!
