Thursday 3/13/14: Homework

Block E:

  • Bring your final draft of your letter to Emma Donoghue to class tomorrow. Be sure to proofread it and PRINT IT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE TO CLASS!
  • Bring the notes that we started to take on The Great Gatsby. We will begin the novel tomorrow.


Block F:

  • Read Chapters 9 and 10 tonight. Focus Question: How does the setting affect Victor's mood?
  • Create an illustration of an important scene in the novel thus far. Be sure to provide a caption that includes a specific quote from the novel that captures the essence of your illustration. 

Block A:

  • We had a great discussion on the report by David Grann titled "The Chameleon" today. Use our discussions this week to develop the third piece in our project that we are calling "Two Truths and a Lie." This week your story should be about a lie; one that you've told, one that you have been told, or one that you've heard about in the world that you are curious about. Be ready to do some research. For more inspiration, you can check out this episode of This American Life that features an entire hour of true stories about liars! Check it out here.
  • Don't forget, you are also responsible for completing and writing about one of the "Art Assignments" by the end of the month!  Remember, you should document your assignment (take pictures) and then write about your process and experience. Have fun!
