Homework: April 2

Creative Writing II (F block)
  • Choose 3 VERY DIFFERENT books (a textbook, a novel, a phone book, an instruction manual...anything!). In each, go to page 90, and copy down the 12th sentence. 
  • Then, write a short story (take about 15 minutes)...use one of the 3 lines as the first line of your story, use the second one in the middle somewhere, and use the third as the last line of your story. Be creative and have fun!
English 11 (G and A block)
  • If you didn't carefully read chapter 7...do that! Remember, it's "Spring cleaning/Get it together" time. Make sure you're putting time, thought and effort into your work.
  • Complete your "power chart" for Chapter 7 of Gatsby. Check out the slides below for instructions, as well as the picture of our draft that we started in class. (Click on each to view it...)
  • A block, you're completing your chart. G block, you're completing your chart AND writing the paragraph (2nd slide). Lucky you! :)



Honors English 11 (C block)
  • Read and take notes on chapter 15 in Strength. We'll talk on Tuesday about PURPOSE--what does this chapter show us? What do we learn?
  • Read your IR book!
