TO ALL MY LITERATURE 9 STUDES...

A Very Merry Christmas once again to all of you! Here are two very important reminders for one and all...please make sure you keep it in mind.

FIRST...start posting your Romeo & Juliet groupings together with your Scene Choice here on this blog...please be reminded that this is a first-come first serve basis...meaning no scene can be repeated by any group even if they are from different Literature classes...! So, before you post your group and your scene choice...PLEASE check the earlier posts first just to be sure you won't be wasting your time...!

SECOND...when we get back from the holidays, I'm gonna start dishing out Detention Slips to everyone who owes me one or two or three or four or even five detentions for speaking Thai or Chinese in my presence...nothing personal...just rules! Besides...it's already the Second Semester...which means you should've learned by now that in my class...Rules Are A Must! Next week, I will be releasing the names of the people who are guilty as charged with such violations...stay tuned!

That's All Folks! Take care all of you and be safe always...do send my warm wishes to your entire family...be good and do your holiday work little by little so as not to cram it all up at the end of the vacation---do not procrastinate! God Bless...CIAO!!!

TO ALL MY LITERATURE 9 STUDENTS...

GREETINGS!

Here are your Christmas Holiday homework/assignments for our break...

FIRST...reread Of Mice and Men and if you have not done so, make sure to take notes on it in your NB or on a WSP; try to analyze the Theme, Plot, Conflict, Symbolisms, and Foreshadowing issues involved in the story!

SECOND...our next story from your text is going to be Poison by Roald Dahl, pages 80-89; if you have nothing else better to do...start reading and taking notes on it; if you want, you may also start answering Making Meanings numbers 2-9 on page 91 and Reading Check letters a-e on the same page!

THIRD...start finding your group mates for your Romeo & Juliet play presentation which you will be performing sometime second week of March 2008; make sure you have the right number of people your scene requires...if there are four characters in the scene you chose, then there has to be four people in your group; first come-first serve basis for scene reservations; the shorter your scene choice is, the higher my expectation will be; begin memorizing your parts and start preparing for it!

FOURTH...choose from any of the given poem titles below and find six to eight other people you can recite it with; when I say recite, I mean proper recitation with feelings and emotions, proper pauses, and in unison; think of it in terms of a choral recitation!
- The Lesson Of The Moth (p.140)
- Daily (p.495)
- I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud (p.510)
- Beware: Do Not Read This Poem (p.531)
- The Seven Ages Of Man (pp.536-537)
- The Gift (p.564)
- Fifteen (p.571)
- The Girl who Loved The Sky (pp.576-577)
- Ain't I A Woman? (p.611)
- Your Laughter (p.853)

That's All Folks! Have A Very Merry Christmas & A Blessed and Prosperous New Year 2008 to you and your entire family...! Enjoy your holidays...CIAO!!!
