Am. Lit.--Keep reading The Scarlet Letter. Read through chapter 3, "The Recognition." We will finally have the quiz on "Young Goodman Brown" tomorrow!
Sports Lit.--Finish reading the chapter, "Tuesday" in Bleachers. Think about athlete/sports hero you will choose for your "Favorite Athlete/Sports Hero" assignment. We will start doing projects next Wednesday. I will be looking for volunteers to go early in in presenting these projects. Euro. Lit.--Start writing your poem based on the poem "My Country," by Lermontov. Also, start reading "A Desperate Character" by Tergenev. You will need to finish reading this story/novella by Monday. Am. Lit.--Be sure to have thoroughly read "Young Goodman Brown," by Nathaniel Hawthorne AND complete the reading questions. Likely quiz on Wednesday.
Sports Lit.--Read up thorough pg. 20 in Bleachers by John Grisham. Start thinking of your choice for your sports hero project. Euro Lit.--Read "The Shot" by Alexandr Pushkin. Look at questions in back for a reading guide (no need to do them right now). Be ready for a possible quiz on Wed. We will finish up final exam writing tomorrow and Friday. Below is the rubric I will be using to grade your final exam essay. I will mainly focus on Topic Development, Organization, and Clarity (3 of the 5 categories). Most of the work that had yet to be passed back/graded will be returned tomorrow and Friday, so that you can work on the writing portfolio sections of the final exam. Thank you for being patient, since it takes time to read through and grade all of your written work. See you tomorrow and Friday to wrap up!
Here are some stories and assignments that we are looking at to conclude our course. Prepare as well as you can for the final exam essay by remembering details about the selections you will choose for your essay. You may have an outline of the essay, which will be written in class next week. Quotes are encouraged and can be found online. Reading selections will also be made available upon request for support material and quotes. Am. Lit.--Please read "Harrison Bergeron" before class if possible. We will likely reread the story and watch a version of the story. This is our final reading of the course. It is a satire set in the future--worth a couple of reads for sure. Lit. Comp. I--Be sure to have read chapters 28-30 of To Kill a Mockingbird. These are the most climactic, exciting chapters of the novel!. We will read the final chapter and finish the film in class on Friday. The test on To Kill a Mockingbird will be on Tuesday, 1/19. It will be a shorter test, so it should only take one class period. We will not have an in-class essay for Tuesdays with Morrie due to time constraints. Below is the final exam essay prompt. You are highly encouraged to prepare for writing the essay ahead of time.
Lit. Comp. 1--For Honors students and anyone else reading Tuesdays with Morrie, the journals and visual are due Tuesday, 1/19 (appropriately). We will do the in-class essay on that day as well.
On Thursday, 1/14, we will watch the American Experience documentary, "The Murder of Emmett Till." I will attach the link below in addition to the journal questions that will be answered after watching the film. Am. Lit.--Today, 1/13, we finished Hemingway's story, "Big Two-Hearted River." We took notes on how the story demonstrates elements of the "Hemingway Code." Tomorrow, 1/14, we will read and watch the short story by Jack London, "To Build a Fire." I will attach the link for the film below (hopefully). Lit. Comp. 1--We finished watching the trial in class today along with the study guide for chapters 12-21. Re-read/read chapters 22-24 tonight, as there is a probable quiz tomorrow in class. Any notes you take on these chapters will be allowed for the quiz.
Am. Lit--Reviewed "A Rose for Emily" (questions turned in) and began our mini study of Hemingway. Watched some bio video, did a journal entry, and started reading "Big Two-Hearted River," Part 1. Finish Part 1 for homework. Here are the reading schedules for Mockingbird and Gatsby. Keep reading!!
Lit. Comp. 1--Continue reading To Kill a Mockingbird. See reading schedule. For honors students and others reading Tuesdays with Morrie, I have attached the Independent Reading Assignment sheet. Am. Lit.--Please see updated reading schedule for the week. Test on Friday for Gatsby. Welcome back!
