HW - Periods 1, 3 and 5

ALL CLASSES NEED TO CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE TONE WORD LIST FOR TONIGHT'S HW.

Period 1 - You are reading the rest of Chapter 2.  Remember that you need to annotate your book, identify literary devices and the reasons the author used them.  You should also print the Tone Word List, and as you read, look for the tone created by the author (the narrator) and the teens' diary entries.  You should also identify the words and quotes that catalyze this tone.   DON'T FORGET TO ALSO DOWNLOAD THE POETRY PORTFOLIO DOCUMENTS ON THE RIGHT . . . and begin your sonnet. The more you have done, the more we can help next class.

In addition, let's work on better behavior for next class!  Even though we were slightly disappointed in your silliness, I have to say we were impressed by your quiz grades.  GREAT JOB THERE!  See, we cannot be mad at you too long!

Oh, and since so many of you liked it, I am including the "Eyes of Blue" sonnet. (CLICK HERE TO ACCESS IT) In that document, I shared a third sonnet I wrote, "Freed Heart."  Let's see if you can figure out the kind of sonnet it is.... :)

We will post the rest of the POETRY items later tonight or tomorrow, sorry :)

Periods 3 & 5 - Even though I did not see 3rd period today, you all are still responsible for Chapters 1 & 2 for next class.  You should also print the Tone Word List, and as you read, look for the tone created by the author (the narrator).  You should also identify the words and quotes that catalyze this tone, AND TELL ME THE "AND SO"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Before your write the words (and their meanings) into your vocab journal, you will need to divide the words into these categories: positive, negative, and neutral.  You don't have to copy down the Spanish words...just the word and definition.

As always, you should be annotating your book! (Don't only point out the lit tools; you should also include the "AND SO.")  You must do it on post-it notes, unless you plan on buying the book.   You CAN keep the one you have, and just pay the $15. 

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
