Homework: April 1

English 11 (F)
  • Read the first half of Chapter 5. This is, as I like to call it, the MOST AWKWARDLY AWESOME chapter in all of literature. It's so good. Just picture it as you read--you'll be able to FEEL the embarrassment vicariously. It will make you squirm.
  • Read your independent book!

  • Prepare for seminars, which will take place tomorrow! Some texts to consider:
    • Frankenstein, obviously. That will be the focus of the discussions.
    • "The Overprotected Kid"--what connections does this possibly have to Frankenstein? Any?
    • This quotation...agree? Disagree? What does Frankenstein say?:
    • Perhaps, if you're interested in checking it out, this TED Talk about the ethics of bioengineering:

    • Other texts that we've studied, or that you've read...
  • Read your independent book!
Honors English 11 (A)

  • Continue to work on your Gatsby essay. You should be working on revising that thesis, and writing that new paragraph or two to develop your big idea. Remember, focus on a couple specific areas of detail that represent what you want to say.
  • Gather all of your materials together (see the list I posted yesterday). Tomorrow, we'll watch a little more of the F. Scott Fitzgerald documentary, and we'll probably start the feature film as well. I'll be checking annotations and work while you watch.
English 12 (B)
  • Finish up that Frankenstein book! Look at how the Doppelganger idea plays out as the story comes to its conclusion. AND, start preparing for those discussions--you have the topics on the handout you received in class.
  • Read your independent book!
