Homework due Thursday 11/7 + Friday 11/8
NOTE: Please bring your Pre-AP readers all of next week.
Assignment 1 of 4:
Complete your Found Poem for "What Happened During the Ice Storm". This assignment is due this Thursday/Friday (11/7-8).
**NOTE: In case you do not want other students to know which poem is yours on the board, write your heading on the reflection paragraph page, which will be covered by your final draft.
You will be turning in the following assignments on Wednesday (stapled in this order):
1) Typed final draft of the poem + hand-drawn illustration
2) Typed reflection paragraph (Five sentences explaining your word choice and why you structured the poem the way you did ... see instructions on the handout)
3) The assignment description handout with the rubric on the backside
Assignment 2 of 4:
Paraphrase the last stanza of John Montague's "The Fight". Write your paraphrases on your copy of the text.
Paraphrase lines 31-33 in one sentence. HINT: Try dividing the three lines into segments and experiment with rearranging them around.
Paraphrase lines 34-37 in one sentence. Make sure you understand the "paradox" that the speaker talks about in these lines.
Assignment 3 of 4 (ongoing):
Type a late final draft of "Paragraph A" and have a printed hardcopy ready to turn in as soon as possible. If you did not turn in this paragraph, it completely cancels out the benefits of turning in Paragraph B. If you turned neither of these in, your grade likely fell at least one grade level. You do not have time left in the semester to be playing these games with your grade. Fix yourselves.

Typed Final Draft (Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced)
Rough Draft (typed or handwritten)
