Seniors: Week of 11-5
The due date of your nonfiction report is now Tuesday, 11-12. The four-part assignment is posted at Studywiz.
Go to Studywiz to find a file that lists and defines some vocabulary words that begin with the letter D. Search for EVERY word in Google News (as you have done before) and write out its use in a headline or article text. In addition, read any ONE entire article, then summarizing its major points in 2-3 concise sentences. This is due before class on Friday.
Read "The Cask of Amontillado" for Wednesday's class. It's in your book, but I've also attached a copy of the story on Studywiz if you'd like to print it out. Come to Wednesday's class with at least 10 questions and comments, especially ones related to elements of the setting. I will give you a handout in class on Tuesday that will guide you with this.
