English Assignments and Information

English Oatis-Read Angela's Ashes (the ideal would be to finish it over break). Do as many journal entries as you can as per the sheet he handed out a few weeks ago outlines...also, keep in mind it would be preferable if you typed up these responses. You can react in any way to any passage in the book, no rules or regulations regarding what you say or how you say it. There is no set amount of entries, Oatis isnt looking to kill you with this assignment...if you put any thought into it at all you should get an A. The sheet he gave out a month ago recommends a minimum of 15 responses (thoughtful and well considered), with a minimum of 1/2 of a page for each. Again, I would say one column for the passage and the other for the actual relflection.



Failey- Because Mrs. Failey did not assign anything specific for the break, that does not mean that we have a free week. I strongly advise that you keep up at a normal rate at reading East of Eden and doing journal entries. Also, for those select few of you who have not handed in your ballads and sonnets, now would be a very good time to get those done.

Kaledioscope (since many of you are in it)
Publication date for this issue is January 20 and this one will be labeled for mailing like the last one. Since layout will be the last week before publication (Jan 17-20, 16th is MLK Day), I'm assuming the due date is Friday the 13th (bum, bum, bum). If you have more than one article and you have the resources and capability to finish it over the break, I suggest you do so.

Etheridge-Write a journal entry about your first memory. It should be "nice".
