Homework: March 3

Honors English 11 (C block)

  • In order to complete an in-class writing assignment tomorrow, you should do the following things:
    • Finish reading chapter 2 in Strength in What Remains.
    • Complete your chapter 1 and chapter 2 Cornell notes.
    • Add information to a mind map/web, in which you look for language/events/moments connected to these three motifs--FEAR, FLIGHT, and MEMORY--in chapter 1 & 2 of Strength.
  • Start studying the vocab words you received last week!
English 12 (E block)
  • Here's the link for the Librivox audio recording of Frankenstein, if you'd like to listen along! There are other versions available (one on YouTube, for example)...just make sure that you are listening to the 1818 edition, not the 1831. They're different!
  • Finish reading Letters 1-4, keeping in mind the same questions you'd consider when you start any book: Who's telling the story and what's his deal?
  • Once you've finished reading the letters, complete the chart in the Study Guide for Frankenstein packet. (It's page 13 in the packet.) Also, check out the questions on pages 14-15. You don't have to write answers to them, but use them to check your comprehension.
Creative Writing II (F block)
  • Read and mark up "The Girl Detective" to page 10 (there's a break at the top...stop there!). 
  • Keep working on your story idea development--respond to the email I sent yesterday with a reflection about your work in class today.
English 11 (G block)
  • Read to the end of page 8 in Gatsby. Then, fill out the green "exit ticket" sheet...follow the directions on the sheet.
