English 12: We did a test today on poetry as exam prep!

Tomorrow: Ms. Moyes will be here to work on Section D of the exam.

We are on a revised schedule tomorrow.
Block 4 starts at 1:21. Please be on time.

Friday: We will be working on the novel so please bring the novel to class.

Monday: Test on the first 8 chapters. Be ready. Read and post-it note.
It will be a test on quotations. You will need to say who is speaking, what was happening and why it is important to theme or character development etc

If you have the exact quote post-it noted in your book before the test begins, you get an extra 10%.

Post-it quotes that reveal Holden's views of the world, the people he likes, the people he dislikes, how he changes, any over reactions, his attitude to love, death, society, etc Look for symbols:
red hunting hat, the ducks, the baseball glove, the suitcase, the nuns, etc

I CAN ONLY ACCEPT LATE WORK FOR WHICH YOU ASKED FOR AN EXTENSION. I COLLECTED THE WAR POEM COMPOSITION TODAY. IF YOU DID NOT HAND IT IN, YOU DO NOT GET THE MARKS.

Thanks to those students who hand in their work on time or ask for extensions well in advance.

You are all working well during class. Good to see as that effort will pay off.
