Homework: May 22

Honors English 11 (D)

  • Read The Things They Carried (use your schedule). Find a passage in tonight's reading that resonates with you and that you'd like to study/discuss with a group.
  • Read your independent book!
English 11 (F)
  • Study your vocab! In class today, we reviewed the words that we've been working with (it's the Gatsby set, starting with supercilious and ending with insidious). We'll do a practice test on Tuesday, and a real-deal test on Wednesday.
  • Read "The Things They Carried" to the break on page 16. As you read, consider this question: What do the soldiers carry, and how do those things affect them? Remember, they carry both tangible and intangible things...just like you.
  • Read your independent book, and enjoy your long weekend. Take some time to honor those who fought and died for our country.
