Sports Lit.-- Just finished the football unit. Watching the film Miracle right now as we start the Hockey unit. We have read "The Making of a Goon," by Johnette Howard. On Friday, we will have a quiz on this article along with a few questions on the film as well.
The Independent Reading assignment is coming for Honors level students. I have several selections along with titles from my personal collection that can be used. If you know of a title you may be interested in reading, just check with me first--or ask around to find out what the best Sports Lit. selections may be!
Euro. Lit. and Phil.--Currently watching Dr. Zhivago--about half way through. This is an important piece as it hits upon all three of the "isms" we have been studying throughout this unit. Try not to miss the next few days of classes, especially next week when we will be taking the Russian Lit. test.
The final readings for the unit include, "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding," by Dostoevsky, "The Young Many Who Flew Past," by Averchenko and Pasternak poems, "On Early Trains" and "I've Come From the Street." Consult the reading selection list for page numbers in your Russian Lit. anthology.
Test sometime next week, as early as Tuesday.
