Weekend Homework - English I and III

Freshmen:

Over the weekend you should be able to finish your Poetry Projects.  Be sure that everything is ready for the collection of these projects on Thursday and Friday of next week.  On these days we will hear you all prsent these poems to us and I will collect all of your work.  Next week, on Tuesday/Wednesday we will begin our study of Romeo and Juliet which will be the last major piece we read before the end of the year.  If you have any props or costumes that you would like to bring to class, please do so on Tuesday/Wednesday.

B-day students, don't forget that you have your exam on Monday.

Juniors:

Over the weekend you read until the entrance of Rev. Hale in The Crucible.  Pay particular attention to the major motifs and ideas that are being developed in the opening of the play.  Also, pay attention to the conflicts that are being established.  One of the key questions htat we will need to consider is how these conflicts will be resolved throughout the course of the play.

On Monday we will spend some time (approximately half the class) in an inside/outside circle.  Be sure that you are ready to lead the conversation then. 

I will also be collecting outlines on Monday.  This is your final extension on these.  If you don't have them ready Monday, you'll get a zero.
Be sure that you go outside and play this weekend - it's really gorgeous!
