Schedule for Week of 14 November:

A Reminder: Your PARODY of Poe's The Raven is due on Thursday, 17 November. If you are absent, the assignment MUST be emailed to me prior to the start of class-you must hand me a "hard-copy" upon returning to class-even if your Band is not meeting. I will provide assistance during 37 1/2 minutes on Monday or on Tuesday with this Parody project, but NOT on Wednesday, the day before the assignment is due. You must present a "draft" of the assignment, do not expect any assistance if you show me a "blank" piece of paper or something that is indicative of a minimal amount of effort.

Monday, 14 November and Tuesday, 15 November: Cooperative Learning Activity for The Cask of Amontillado. Before you join your assigned group, you will take a QUIZ for this story (5 questions/5 minutes) similar to the one you took previously. Please Parents: Direct your child to read this story before Monday. I have posted a link for the text and audio. Sadly, many of the children did not comply with my request to do so last week and subsequently failed the quiz.

Wednesday, 16 November through Friday, 18 November:
Poe's The Black Cat (This may give you nightmares-it is one of Diedrich's favorites.) Both E and F Band should read the story prior to Wednesday, (F Band -Do not wait until Thursday to do so). Naturally, you will take a quiz on this story. As you read the story (there is also an audio link), click on any highlighted vocabulary word-this will surely enhance your understanding of the text. there are also beneficial resources on this site that may be of interest.

Thursday, 17 November: Needless to say, Quotation/Paragraph Assignment (Week 10) is due and you will be tested on SAT Vocabulary List 9 words.
