TO ALL MY LITERATURE 9C STUDES...
GREETINGS!
I sure hope you are not missing me too much yet at this point...hehehe! Anyways, here are your Quarter Break Homework/Assignments which I will expect you to have completed by the time we get back to school on Monday, 27 October 2008.
I have a number of QUARTER BREAK HOMEWORK/ASSIGNMENTS for you to work on given the 9 days you are going to "miss" seeing me and/or “miss” being in my class.
FIRST…you have the entire Quarter Break to read, review (if you’ve read it before!), and take notes on our next class novel, The Princess Bride…we are going to immediately get our discussion going as soon as we return from the break…!
SECOND…alone or with a partner, figure out what you think might have happened next after the climactic part of the story A Sound Of Thunder. Then, write a continuation of that story and give it a good “closed” ending. I am going to collect and check this as soon as we get back to class so make sure you have it on an A4/F12/DS/TNR. …!
THIRD…read and understand The BIRDS (pp. 50-75) and make sure to take notes on it for discussion purposes. Answer Reading Check, Shaping Interpretations, Extending the Text, and Challenging the Text on page 77 (NB)…!
FOURTH…prepare for a Literary Terms Test and a Vocabulary Terms Test as soon as we get back from the break. Be aware that the Literary Terms Test is already going to be an application of the words/terms and not anymore just meanings…!
FIFTH…now that we are done with Lord of the Flies, our next stop is Of Mice and Men. In case you have not started reading this story, may I suggest that you begin it because we are going to work on this for the Second Quarter. Do not forget to take notes so you won’t forget what you read.
LASTLY… on Friday, 24 October 2008, I am going to post a blog for you to respond to. You will have the whole day of Friday and the whole day of Saturday, 25 October 2008, to post your responses. I am going to close that blog on the evening of Saturday between 7:00PM to 11:59PM…!
That’s All Folks! Have a Safe and Wonderful Quarter Break and come back refreshed and ready to Rock-N-Roll for the second part of the semester. Be good and get all your homework/assignments out of the way as soon as possible so that you can enjoy your break to the max…CIAO!!!
Mr. A
