English 10: Welcome Back!

Today,  I collected all remaining mock 10 exams. If you took it home, bring it in tomorrow so I may mark it during USSR.

Today: We completed our Nov/Dec USSR form. Please complete and submit tomorrow.
We finished reading the novel, Animal Farm. If you have not yet completed your reading, you have until Wednesday to finish it.

Tonight: We read and discussed the poem, "Cherries" during class.

Your assignment tonight is to create a vibrant, honest thesis statement which takes into account all aspects of the poem (the obvious and the subtle points) in response to the question below:

What is the attitude toward war revealed in this poem?

Be sure to take into account the title and that last line. What do they imply?


Mwah: Evil laugh here.  You are rested, well fed, and happy so now it's time to re-fill the brain by THINKING, READING, AND RESPONDING.

THREE WEEKS TO GO BEFORE YOUR FINAL EXAM.
