As I "grade my face off" this weekend and finish your finish your scores for the first quarter, you all get a bit of time to relax.
Russian I and ESL English III
There's no homework this weekend.
Russian I Students - I would spend some time this weekend staying up with your language skills. Remember that a bit of Russian every day is helpful. Listen to some Russian music on youtube.com and follow along with the lyrics. Test your comprehension and speaking. Next week we will be continuing on with cases, especially and moving in to verbs. Be prepared and for those of you struggling, it's time to come in and work extra hard. Remember that I'm free most lunches and after school.
Honors English II
Reread "Among the People" and "Samsara" to be prepared for Wednesday's class. Also put in some work on your projects! The due date will be announced on Wednesday.
AP English III
This weekend you have some reading to do. Read and annotate chapter seven of The Great Gatsby. As you read, continue to draw connections to motifs and symbols. At this point in the novel you should be able to make some conclusions about the meaning of some of these symbols. Also, I want you to read Virginia Woolf's "The Death of the Moth." The article is available in 50 Essays or at this link. As you read this piece, know that it is in a rhetorical mode called "process analysis." We will work on this piece over several classes as it is quite beautiful and has some interesting Gatsby connections. Read and annotate. Always!
