JUST A REMINDER: C Band: Ethan Frome Chapter 4 study guide due on Wednesday, 22 May. F Band: Chapter 4 study guide due on Thursday, 23 May. EXPECT A TEN QUESTION QUIZ (TEN MINUTES MAXIMUM)

Everyone should read Chapters 5 and 6 for Friday, 24 May (Expect a quiz)-you should also complete any assigned study guides-if I have decided to distribute them in class-all depends on whether or not I detect that students have not been reading the text.

Root Word Quiz # 7: Friday, 24 May.

Dear Parents: Many of the children have not completed their assigned readings in preparation for quizzes and/or for class discussions. Perhaps, your child is one of them. Furthermore, please do NOT accept any excuses-even if your child has been absent and your child does NOT have the required novel-the asssigned readings can still be completed since I have posted links for the e-text as well as for the audio of the text on this blog.

Attentions Students: In addition to the homework assignment that is due on Monday, 20 May (Chapter 3 study guide), you will have a quiz on this chapter. Also, for those unprepared for the quiz over Chapters 1 and 2 (10 questions), you will re-take this quiz (albeit a different one) during 37 1/2 minutes on Monday, 20 May. It is unfair to others to give you the opportunity to complete the quiz that you turned-in on Friday, 17 May.

JUST A REMINDER: You will have a QUIZ on the contents of the Naturalism power-point/video posted below on Tuesday, 14 May. You were informed about this last week. Do not be surprised if I ask you to turn-in the notes that you have taken to prepare for this quiz.

ATTENTION C-Band Students: If you arrive late on Monday, immediately report to the Dean's Office to obtain a pass to gain entry to class.

Root Word Quiz: Friday, 17 May.

We will visit the Book room on Monday, 13 May to obtain a copy of ETHAN FROME. I had encouraged everyone to begin reading this text last week-I even informed you about the audio I posted along with the text.

Ethan Frome audio/text
*Perhaps, NOW- those of you who have not read any of the texts this year-in their entirety-will NOW do so!

This novella will be distributed on Monday, 13 May-why not read ahead...?

Ethan Frome on-line text

"I wonder why Diedrich would post this video/power-point on the class blog?" "That is an easy question to answer-he most likely wants us to take notes while viewing it." "I bet that he gives us a surprise quiz on Tuesday, 14 May."
