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!
