Cask of Amontillado

Hey Guys,
A reminder on homework: Please finish your second reading of "Cask," complete the questions in the margin of your workbook and complete your Double-Entry Journal (DEJ).  Remember, for your DEJs, you should be doing about 1 - 2 quotes per page at a minimum and you are focusing on irony, mood and imagery (sensory details).

Have a great day!

Final Exam Study Guide

Hey Everyone,
I just put the study guide for your final exam in the "View Only" folder in Google Drive. You can also access it by clicking HERE. I will be passing out copies of the study guide on Tuesday in class, but I thought you ambitious, study-ahead people might appreciate getting it early.

Hope you are all enjoying a relaxing long weekend!

Update

Hi All,
A couple of important things to note:
1) The margin questions and DEJ for the "Scarlet Ibis" is due tomorrow. We will NOT be spending time in class completing the reading and journal. When you walk in the door tomorrow, you should be ready to discuss the symbolism and theme of the story.

2) I pushed back the due date of the Book Review till Tuesday, 01/22. Since I am giving you a few extra days - NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED

3) Wednesday, 01/23 (the day of your final exam), will be the last day to turn in any extra credit work. 

Happy Thursday!
