Homework: February 4

English 12 (E block)

  • It's been rough lately with all the snow; here's the next schedule:
    • Tomorrow, you have a vocabulary quiz. Study.
    • Many (most) of you didn't have your essay draft completed today. Boo. So, you need to do that, in addition to studying.
    • The next book club meeting will be Monday. Remember, you should be about 3/4 of the way through your book, and you'll need to have a RR with you on Monday.
CWII (F block)
  • Find an example of good writing to share with the class. It could be a short story, poem, chapter of a novel, magazine/newspaper article, song...whatever! Write down some reasons you think the writing is strong, and, if possible, make 5 copies.
  • Remember our reading, "Be Specific"? I challenged you to learn the specific names of some stuff. People, trees, cars...whatever. Be prepared to share.
English 11 (G block)
  • I expected you all to have a first draft of your essay with you today. If you didn't, work on it!
  • Read your independent book!
  • If you weren't in class today, go to this site and listen to the first 9 minutes. Take some notes about what you're hearing. I'll get you caught up on Friday.
