Wednesday, December 9

I hope you are all having a great week so far! Homework and information is as follows:

10th grade: Most of you have finished the transcendentalist study guide, please do it for homework. We will go over it in class tomorrow. Since we did not have class yesterday, I am postponing your test on transcendentalism until Monday.

*Don't forget your can of green beans to help feed some local families!! Bring by Friday, por favor!

11th grade: Finish the essay, "When the Negro Was in Vogue," which begins on page 933 and answer questions 1-5 &7. We will have a short test on the Harlem Rennaissance on December 15.

*We will be starting The Great Gatsby after Christmas. Please let me know if you would like me to order a copy for you. If not, please obtain a copy of your own by January 13!

12th grade: Please read "It is a Beauteous Evening" on page 734. Analyze its imagery on the handout given in class and answer questions 1-5 on page 737. We will have a short test on romanticism on December 15.

ALL CLASSES: After our tests on December 15, we will be playing a game to celebrate literacy (and Christmas, of course!) Please bring a wrapped book for this purpose. It can and should be a used book (school appropriate). Talk to me if you have problems getting one and I have one for you.
