Homework for April 7, 2011

Juniors:

Tomorrow we are going to have our first group meeting of the nine weeks.  You'll need to have a copy of your novel and be ready to establish norms for your groups so that you can sucessfully complete the tasks ahead.  If you don't have a copy of your novel, I'll have a copy or two for you to use in class that you could check out for the weekend while you get your own.  I am expecting you to annotate your novels and I will be checking in on you as we work through the rest of the quarter. 

On Monday you'll need to bring your textbook to class AND you're going to need to have a rough outline for your The Crucible/Mean Girls paper.  You'll be conferencing with your peers about these outlines on Monday and we'll be doing some draft workshops on Tuesday for these papers.  I'll collect final drafts of these papers on Friday, right before break begins.

Also, don't forget that I'll be checking vocabulary tomorrow:  three cards and ten words on the bookmark.

Freshmen:

You should be reading in Romeo and Juliet.  By next Tuesday and Wednesday you'll need to be to the end of Act II, Scene 2 and have your notes done on these portions.  Don't forget that you'll have your Act I exam on Tuesday and Wednesday!  We'll have a review session on Monday during Study Hall if you'd like to attend.  Don't forget your index cards on Friday/Monday - we're going to research our faces off over the next few days to get ready for the next portion of our research project.
