For Naomi
Makeup goodness:
1. Fill these out:
2. Answer the reading questions for the Odyssey.
3. Prepare a thesis; spend as much time at home on this as you wish to make a good one (based on the notes in part 1). You will write an essay in class when work above is done based on the prompt at the end of the thesis review (basically, what is an important truth about life that the Odyssey illustrates? Find 2-3 good locations in the Odyssey to prove this idea. Length: 1 page or more, handwritten.
4. Do the grammar handout on dialogue.
Please check in with me each class day on your progress. These must be by or before Oct. 23
Thank you,
Mr. S

Hi students,
Remember, you have three tasks:
Remember, you have three tasks:
- Submit your story to the contest by this Sunday.
- Carefully follow the instructions for Young Writers Contest you will find at that link. Obviously, if you are mailing it, you would need to send it by Friday.
- Otherwise, submit electronically or hand deliver it with the contest form filled out.
- Delete the heading info. from your story (like my name and the class).
- Make sure you have a cool title.
- Finish Reading The Odyssey.
- Answer all questions I gave you (reading journal). If you lose it, you can see/reprint it here. These are due next Tuesday.
Antigone
Dear students and parents,
I have found an excellent, copyright-free version of Antigone. The text is brief, so I can print what we need, and you will not need to buy a book (even better!). Also, we will be watching a film version.
If you are interested in looking over resources in advance, you can see them here on the blog: Antigone. We will be heading into this in two weeks.
