English 11: Read chapters 9 and 10 and due the following . . .

Congratulations to all of the winners of our scavenger hunt. Those Rogers Chocolates were yummy.

If you were absent today, be sure to procure the notes from an avid note taker; otherwise, you may be lost when you begin to write your essay.

We added the next two words to our vocabulary list. Test Thursday.

Chapter 9: This chapter is a key turning point for the boys and it builds off of our discussion of Simon and the pig's head. As you read this short chapter, post-it note at least one key line on each page that you feel helps you to appreciate the theme, make connections to previous chapters or foreshadows what is to come.

Bonus point: Find at least one example of pathetic fallacy.

Read chapter 10: This chapter is a direct result of the death in chapter 9. Focus on the boys' reactions to the deaths as they are key. Post-it note a quote for Jack's reaction, Piggy's reaction and Ralph's reaction and you will be well prepared for tomorrow's quiz.

Have fun reading!

It was great to see how many people have read one, two, or three books already for USSR. Very impressive. Fill out the blue form before starting your next book. 
I will collect all of the blue forms at the end of the month.
