Homework due Wednesday the 19th
Assignment 1 of 5
Finish CATCH notes for the reading we were able to accomplish in class (middle of page 5).
Remember to focus your notes on connections to the novella's theme(s) AND to look for examples of the following on each page: foreshadowing, repetition of key words, symbolism, imagery (animal, religious, etc.)
Assignment 2 of 5
It would be a good idea to begin your character logs before Wednesday. Begin character pages for both George and Lennie and provide at least ONE quote from Section 1 before Wednesday's class.
If you haven't already, use the templates given in class to set up your character pages, symbol chart, glossary and double-entry journal. That way, you'll be able to add to them when we discuss the text in class.
You may do your templates in your notebook, but I suggest creating them as Google document(s) (one document for each assignment, or one for all of them together).
Assignment 3 of 5
Bring your IRP book to the next class and your copy of Of Mice and Men. Not bringing either of these will result in a demerit.
Assignment 4 of 5
Your IRP is due in roughly two weeks! Ideally, you will want to finish the book at least one week before your IRP poster is due. That means odd periods should finish by this Thursday and even periods should finish by Friday.
Those of you interested in attending Gertz’s first off-campus dance and/or Halloween parties that weekend should try to finish even earlier.
Assignment 5 of 5
If you wish to retake your word roots quiz, you must attend one tutoring session between now and November 1st in order for your retakes to count. Be sure to bring your flashcards, as you can use whatever aids you like on your retake.
If you failed the notebook check for either Unit 1 or Unit 2, you STILL have time to raise your grade to a 2.0. However, given the fact you did not have all your assignments complete when they were originally due, you must show completion of every assignment before your grade will change.
