Homework due Thursday the 6th/Friday the 7th
NOTE: Bring HmH textbooks (and your student IDs) to class on Thursday/Friday so they can be checked back in. Of Mice and Men books will be checked back in on the days of your final.
Assignment 1 of 5:
Finish late literary analysis essays on Of Mice and Men and turn them in no later than Friday the 7th (by 3:45 p.m.). No essays will be accepted after this date.
Materials should be in the following order:
-TYPED, double-spaced final draft in Times New Roman 12-point font
-Complete rough draft
-Peer Editing Sheet (optional -- not going to affect your grade)
-Complete outline
This essay is part of your final grade. It is therefore ridiculously dangerous NOT to do this essay. On average, it can drop an overall grade by about 0.5 points.
Assignment 2 of 5:
Submit late essays (just the final draft) to turnitin.com by Monday 11:59 p.m. (odd) or Tuesday 11:59 p.m. (even).
Not doing turnitin.com for your essay will result in a zero for both the essay and the separate turnitin.com grade for the essay. If you do not submit to turnitin.com by the day of the your final you will be enrolled automatically in Ethics Committee for next year as a sophomore.
Assignment 3 of 5:
Add to your annotations for pp. 99-107. You should focus in your annotations on examples of imagery, symbolism, repetition and foreshadowing. Also look for connections to theme and ways Steinbeck builds character.
Assignment 4 of 5:
Add your last 2-3 symbols to your log for Sections 6. You should now have 12-18 total. Be ready to show these in class Thursday/Friday.
Assignment 5 of 5 (ongoing):
Study for your final!! You will be given a study guide on Google Classroom by the end of the week but you should already be reviewing the texts we've read in class since January.
