Homework: November 20

English 11 (A block)

  • Finish reading and marking up the story "On the Rainy River." Remember, this is a story about someone making a big decision, though in a lot of ways, he doesn't have a choice at all. As you read, keep an eye on information that will help you answer these questions:
    • Why does he make the decision he does?
    • Who, if anyone, helps?
    • What's so important about a fishing trip?
  • Study your vocab! You have a quiz tomorrow.
Honors English 11 (C block)
  • Continue reading crazy chapter 7. Keep an eye on shifting power dynamics in the story.
  • You should make sure to read to at least the top of page 145.
  • Study vocabulary! You have a quiz.
English 12 (E block)
  • Write a reflection on today's discussion activity. 
    • If you were part of the discussion, consider: What did you talk about as a group? What did you contribute individually? What else would you have liked to add? What insight do you now have into the question? 
    • If you were watching the discussion, consider: What did the group discuss? What did you notice about the process of the discussion? What would you have liked to add?
  • Study your vocabulary--quiz Monday!
  • If you haven't finished reading The Body carefully, you should do so. You'll have a test on Tuesday, in which you'll need to know plot events, characterization, major motifs, significance of structure, etc.
