Hi!

No new reading assignment.  Look closely at the descriptions of Dimmesdale and men in the balcony scene.  Do a close reading of 5 and 6.  Be prepared to blow me away with your discoveries!

Hi!

Read through the end of Chapter 4 in TSL, annotating as you read.  Quiz Time!

Take care, Mrs. Garstka

For Thursday:  Read pages 28-31 in your binder and study the vocab for Chapters 1-4 of TSL.  Sounds like a good time for a quiz!  Bring both your binder and TSL to class.

Take care, Mrs. Garstka

Hi All,

Come to class Tuesday with your typed parodies and the PSAT booklet (verbal section completed).
I'll give you a writing assignment on Tuesday, due Wednesday.  Prepare yourselves for lots of annotated reading.

Have a great weekend.

Hello!

A slight revision in plans.  Friday we'll finish the poems.  Monday we'll start Jonathan Edwards' sermon, finish it for homework, and discuss it on

Mrs. Garstka

Wednesday:  First half of class:  discussion of the critical essays you got in class Tuesday.  Second half:  Vocab review  (Reminder: Vocab test on Monday).

Thursday:  Finish Vocab List.  We'll start the first section in your binder.  HW:  Depends on how much we accomplish in class.
 
Friday:  Continue with text in Binder.

Hello All,

Although we could spend several weeks on 1984, we don't have the time.  So let's try to pull together the most important points on Friday.  Bring your copies of 1984 and Dinner . . . and your Dinner. . . notes.  Be sure you have done the assignment for Dinner so we can have intelligent discussions about those aspects of the text.
