English 11 (D block)
  • Read to page 134 in True Diary
  • Start studying your new vocabulary words!
Creative Writing (E block)
  • "Why Write?" full draft is due on Monday. (I think I may have said Friday in class today? But we don't have class on Friday.)

Honors English 12 (G block)
  • Study vocabulary--quiz on Friday will include current class content (all texts we've read so far are fair game) as well as the words on the list.
  • Read and mark up the excerpt from Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. Remember that we watched this clip from Mad Men about NOSTALGIA. Make some connections, with this text, and with ALL of the texts we've read so far.<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/suRDUFpsHus" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
