Block F: English 12
Read to page 74 (stop at the second page break). Add additional quotes to the chart that we made in class today, and be prepared for a reading quiz at the start of the class.
Block A: Creative Writing
We had a pretty awesome discussion/Socratic seminar today about "Mermaid Fever." I heard lots of voices--you all made some excellent insights and connections. Good work!
For tonight, please write a 1 paragraph reflection on what you heard today. Try to be as specific as you can about what resonated with you during the discussion.
Block B: Honors English 11
We had a very compelling conversation today about the Washington Redskins controversy. There are a lot of different opinions out there and it was good to hear you articulate the different sides of the argument.
For Thursday, please read the first 6 pages of the short story "Hell-Heaven" by Jhumpa Lahiri. In case you walked out of the room before you grabbed one, you can read and print out the story here. Please ANNOTATE the story carefully, taking note of your questions, observations, and connections. We will discuss the first section on Thursday, so please arrive to class prepared.
Block C: English 11
We finished the novel! Review your notes and the drawing we did today in class about the symbolism that Alexie uses at the end of the novel. Be prepared to demonstrate your understanding (quiz!) on today's discussion before we begin the film Smoke Signals on Thursday.
