Homework - 10 February

Juniors: 

Great job with the inside/outside circle today.  I'd like to see more people engaging in the conversation when we do these things.  Remember, your ideas get stronger when you discuss them and test them against your classmates.  For tonight, I'd like for you to read chapters fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen.  Be sure that as you read, you are annotating.  Furthermore, don't forget that vocabulary cards are due tomorrow.  You'll need to submit two cards and I will be checking your bookmark.  Follow all of the instructions.

Freshmen:

Over the weekend you have a creative writing activity to do for me.  I would like for you to complete a poetic eulogy for Finny.  The eulogy will need to be no less than fifteen lines for Standard students and no less than twenty-five lines for Honors students.  Remember that a eulogy is meant to be in praise of the person - try to use interesting diction and imagery to make your poem more complete.  These will need to be turned into the box on Monday/Tuesday.
