Homework for All Classes - 10/30 and 10/31

Happy second nine weeks!  Now that we've gotten off to a good start it's time to continue moving forward into the rest of the year.  Here are your reminders for all classes:

Freshman Focus

Next class will be our final class in the computer lab.  I would ask that you be prepared to either submit your final project (the career brochure) at the end of our computer time tomorrow or at our class immediately following that.  We will also continue our debate next class with the refutation and closing statements.  Be sure that you've participated to earn full credit for this activity.

AP English III

I was happy to see all of you dive right in to this The Great Gatsby skit assignment.  Remember to work effectively with your group members to accomplish and create a strong and thorough skit.  Make sure that you follow the guidelines in the assignment sheet.  Remember that this will count as a major grade for you and serve as your review before your exam on The Great Gatsby.

Besides working on your skit, I'd like for you to finish reading The Great Gatsby tonight.  You should take this time to finish up your annotations and continue working on vocabulary.  Next class we will be spending a good amount of time discussing "The Death of the Moth" and the final chapters of The Great Gatsby.  Be prepared for a quickly moving class on Thursday/Friday.

English IV

Tonight I want you to finish reading Book Two - but I don't want you to read all of chapter nine.  Only focus on reading pages 148-151, 164-165, and 179.  The other pages of the chapter are Goldstein's book and I don't think that you don't need to understand these portions to understand the book.  You also are going to want to focus on studying your vocabulary.  We'll soon have our Book Two test, which will be structured very similarly to your first test.  Try not to repeat the same mistakes.
