Snow Day Homework for Friday, January 10, 2025
I’m sure you all have worked really hard this week to get back into the groove of school work and complete all of your assignments! Enjoy a day of no literature assignments!!!
Be prepared to turn in ALL homework on Monday, January 13 once we go over any unanswered questions you have from Monday-Thursday work. There should be no reason to need to use your grace for any of this week’s assignments! 🙂
Looking forward to seeing all of you!
Snow Day Homework for Wednesday, January 8 and Thursday, January 9, 2025
Enjoy your extra days at home! Rather than thinking of literature assignments as homework, think of them as an opportunity to cozy up with a blanket, hot chocolate, and a book to enjoy a slower pace to your day. Hoping to see you all Friday!
As always, please reach out with any questions.
American Literature:
Read about John Greenleaf Whittier at the bottom of page 194. Read all of the poems and answer the questions on pages 194-201.
On Friday, before I collect all four days of homework, I will help answer any questions you may have from the reading and questions. Please make every effort to answer all or most of the questions. If there is a term in a question you are unsure of, please refer to the Glossary of Literary Terms in the back of your textbook beginning on page 527. This glossary will help refresh you on terms such as stanza, metaphor, simile, theme, paradox, etc.
British Literature:
Read chapters 56-61 in Pride and Prejudice. Yay! You will have officially complete the reading for the novel!!!
Using MLA format, type a 1-2 page paper telling me about your favorite character from the book, why they are your favorite character, and whether you would classify your favorite character as dynamic or static throughout the book. A dynamic character is a character who changes throughout the course of the novel, while a static character is one who stays relatively the same. Use examples from the book to support your thoughts on whether your character is dynamic or static.
In class on Friday, we will begin working through the worksheet pages for chapters 46-61. We will be working through these together for several days. Be sure to read all of the chapters so that you are able to contribute to the discussion throughout the worksheet pages.
Snow Day Homework for Monday, January 6 and Tuesday, January 7, 2025
Hello, American Literature and Bristish Literature students! I am looking forward to working with each of you this semester. I hope you all have a cozy stay-at-home day from school!
American Literature:
We are beginning Unit 7: The Fireside Poets. Read the intro to The Fireside Poets at the top of the page on page 176. There are four poets that are called the “Fireside Poets”. You will want to know the name of all four of them for the end of the unit test.
Read the information section for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on the bottom of page 177.
Read and answer questions for each of Longfellow’s poems on pages 176-181. Remember to answer questions in complete sentences. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
British Literature:
We will be wrapping up Pride and Prejudice in the next two weeks so that we can move on to other things. Once we finish the novel, we will go back to using the textbook. Because you all do not have the worksheets that go with the next chapters, please read chapters 46-55 for Monday and Tuesday. When we return to class, we will work on the worksheets together for all of the reading. Please be sure to do the reading so you are able to participate in the class discussion of the worksheets. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!
