Homework for the Long Weekend - B Day Students - November 9

English IV

Nice job working through the unit test today. When we return next week, we will begin our Shakespeare/humor unit in earnest, so be prepared to digest some challenging language, learn new styles of jokes and comedy, and have fun as we read Twelfth Night!

AP English III

Both classes did a great job today working with close reading and the first chapter of The Great Gatsby. As you're rereading and annotating this weekend, consider how literary devices are functioning in the text. Figure out what is making the message clear, unclear, interesting and confusing. For next class, make sure you have thoroughly read and annotated (including your covers) Chapters 2 & 3, and are prepared to talk about Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway. Also, don't forget to bring in a passage you'd like to discuss, with some specific talking points in mind.
