Homework: December 16

English 11 (G and A blocks)

  • Read and mark up the story "In the Field." Just as we did when we started reading "The Man I Killed," you should spend a minute looking over that title, considering its meaning and identifying questions that could guide your reading. 
  • Review your vocabulary words, 1-40. We'll have a unit test before break.
Honors English 11 (C block)
  • Finish your Gatsby essay--it's due Thursday. I'm around after school the next two afternoons if you have questions or need help. I'll magnet up a checklist for writing outside of F204 if you want to stop by and grab it. 
Here's the Gatsby writing I did in class today. Remember, this is just a quick bit of writing, off the cuff during class today as an example. I'd revise, edit, make sure my analysis was strong and my word choice was effective. But, it'll give you an idea of the type of analysis you're looking for as you identify and describe the use of figurative language in the novel.
