Homework: May 7

Honors English 11 (A and D)

• You have your books, and your reading schedule. Get started! There are a couple of resources posted below this post--use them if they're helpful!
• Write your own version of "The Things I Carry" and bring it with you to class on Friday.
• We've started watching the film Big Fish in class. There are some important thematic connections between this film and the book The Things They Carried, even though the film is not about the Vietnam War. If you have missed class, you should watch the beginning. (In A block, we've watched the first 20 minutes or so, stopping at the end of the parade. In D block, we've watched about an hour, stopping after the fight in the flowers. :)
• Read your independent book!

English 12 (B)

• Tomorrow, we'll have the computers, and you'll have time to work! Come to class tomorrow ready to work on your projects--make sure you have some work done, so you know what questions to ask!
• Remember, presentations start MONDAY--papers are due, and you need to be ready to go. At 7:30. Don't be late, or it will be detention for you!
• Read your independent book!
