Homework: December 4

English 12 (E block)

  • You've read the Biddle article, which analyzes elements of Stephen King's "The Body."
  • Now, you're going to do some writing about it. For class tomorrow, you should write up thoughtful, formal notes, based on the assignment sheet you received in class. You may not do "mental notes"--create an organizer, or a purposeful method of marking and identifying evidence. No written work, no credit.
  • Your final version of your response will be due on Monday.
  • Study your vocab!
Readers/Writers Workshop (F block)
  • If you haven't asked your profile subject about the assignment, make sure you ask!
  • Start developing some questions you might ask in your interview.
English 11 (G and A block)
  • Write your "How to Tell a True ____ Story" assignment. You might write "true football stories" or "true babysitting stories." Use "How to Tell a True War Story" as an example. Just as O'Brien tells a story, then gives "instructions," you should do the same. 
  • Study your vocabulary!
