Homework: March 24

Honors English 11 (B block)

  • We'll return to our discussion of the "most valuable idea" in Strength in What Remains when we meet again on Tuesday.
  • For homework, finish up your vocabulary brackets, and then write up an article about one of the match-ups. Did fortuitous beat aberration at the buzzer? Was it a close match up, or a blowout? Are there other "games" you could refer to? ("The earlier match up between prudent and foster was a much gentler, more deliberate affair.") Which other words might be interviewed (you know..."We caught up with Ephemeral on the sideline, who said, 'I just caught the end of the game, but it was impressive!'"--get it? Get it?) Use as much information about the words as possible--be creative and have fun!
English 12 (D block)
  • Continue to work on your chart for Frankenstein's creation, naming moments in the story, and identifying what he learns from them, and how he reacts to them emotionally.
  • Read chapter 12 in Frankenstein--how do those cottagers influence our creation's experience? Add to your chart.
