Spring Break Home Learning

You have a few tasks for Spring Break. I suggest you do them today, or the Monday that's a teacher workday. Let's finish the year strong!

Periods 3 & 4 - Read The Freedom Writer's Diary, pgs. 78-107. Write three entries in your journal that discuss your feelings regarding the readings, or you can write about your experiences during spring break. You also need to write an enjambment poem of at least 14 lines. Remember, you need to focus on one literary tool.

Periods 5 & 6 - DO pgs 61-63 of your test packet. Set a timer for 16 minutes. Once the time is up, circle the questions you weren't able to finish. You can do them anyway, but I want you to circle them so you are aware that you have to work faster. You also need to read "Men, Women, Sex and Darwin" from the 50 Essays book. It's on page 29. In addition, you need to answer the four questions that follow the reading. Don't write the questions, just the answers (Shocker, I know! LOL!) You also need to look at the stylistic aspects of the essay. Look for figurative language, sytax, rhetoric, etc. Highlight it in your book and make notes in the margin. A useful tool is the handout from the summer with all the rhetorical appeals on it. It's to the left if you need another copy.

OK, I love you all. Be safe and make good choices! I will miss you!!!!!!!!
