Sorry I'm out for these three days--I'm off doing some peer review of another school nearby. You should be working on the following things over the next couple of days. If you have questions, you can shoot me an email--I might not respond right away, because my schedule is super busy, but I will get back to you!
English 11 (A and G Block)
- You folks are watching Big Fish in class. It's a really important movie and helps us answer two big questions:
- What role do STORIES play in our lives? What purpose do STORIES have in our lives?
- What do we carry with us, and how does that weight affect us?
- For homework, finish up the story "The Things They Carried" and answer that focus question (it's the second one, above...see how these two texts overlap?).
Honors English 11 (C block)
- Over the next couple of days, you folks will get into reading chapter 4 of Gatsby. You'll also examine closely some of the language that introduces the character of Gatsby himself.
English 12 (E block)
- You're continuing to read and annotate "The Body." By Wednesday, you'll want to be at the end of chapter 18. You'll also complete an assignment called "Mapping 'The Body'" and an analysis of some key scenes.
- Don't forget to study those vocabulary words! You'll have a quiz on Friday.
Readers/Writers Workshop (F block)
- It seems we're in a bit of a "Johnny Depp film festival." You'll watch Finding Neverland, keeping an eye on the message of the film, and the way(s) the filmmaker shares that message.
- If you need to do any work on your choice piece, do it!
