Monday/Tuesday:
For homework, you are to read (under “Paired Poems”) Eavan Boland’s “The Pomegranate” and Rita Dove’s “The Bistro Styx.” Half of the class will answer the questions that accompany “The Pomegranate.” The other half will answer the questions that accompany “The Bistro Styx.” This homework is to be your work—alone. You are not to work with peers, family members, or anyone else. You are not to use study guides like Cliff’s Notes, Sparknotes, or any other kind of “short-cut.” I want you to attempt to learn how to do this on your own. Your work will be checked for completion.
Make sure that you read the information preceding the poems and that you read the footnotes. They will help you a great deal.
Wednesday/Thursday:
The due-date of your movie is now Friday. It was to have been completed on Wednesday/Thursday, but I have to attend a conference on Thursday. You should have a copy of the movie on two separate flash drives (just in case one is not working). Even though half of you will be on the field trip, you must have the movie to me on Friday. Find a way.Also, your vocabulary is due--chapter 8.
