Weekend Homework - 4/1/2011

Freshmen:  Your homework is in the previous post.  Please make sure that you give yourself adequate time to turn in the assignment on Monday to the homework box.  Remember that I will be grading this on thoroughness, content, and grammar/usage.  Be sure that you show your best work for the beginning of the last nine weeks.  This will also serve as a good review of what you've already learned in the play as we prepare for our first test on Act I.  Lastly, if you have some extra time this weekend, start doing some more research for your Elizabethan England project.  We'll take another big step forward with these next week as we start to develop the stories featuring your characters.

Juniors:  Over the weekend you will need to complete the reading of The Crucible.  Pay attention to the end of the play, especially how the characters wind up, how the conflicts get resolved, and all of the irony that explodes in the ending.  You may also want to go back to the beginning "statements of belief" and reassess if you have changed your point of view on these statements from your reading of The Crucible.  Finally, on Monday we will continue watching Mean Girls in order to prepare for our final paper.

Enjoy the weekend!  Don't bite your thumb at strangers!
