English 10 Honors--11/19/2018

Brain Break -- Apples to Apples

HW (Practice/Take-Home Assessment/Class Preparation)
--WE ARE TAKING A BREAK FROM MEMBEAN 11/16-11/22 DUE TO THE HOLIDAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN STILL TRAIN THESE NEXT 7 DAYS (AND ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO DO SO IF YOU HAVE FALLEN BEHIND)!
--Complete 45 minutes of Membean training in three different days before 11:59 PM on Thursday, 11/29 (see the "English Department Membean Routine" sheet).
Writing
--Review your notes for "The Masque…" in preparation for completing an in-class writing assignment upon our return from the upcoming break.
--The due date for submitting a revised Thematic Writing Assignment--Partner Interviews essay for the Cumulative Writing Portfolio is Wednesday, 12/12 (a little under one month from today)--YOU MUST schedule a meeting with me to go over your revisions; simply handing in the revisions is unacceptable as per the protocol.  When time permits, meetings can/will occur during class time.
HW (Class Preparation)
--Aim to read at least 10 pages of your free reading book each day over break.  If you achieve this goal, you will have read 50+ pages!  (I know that I, personally, am quite looking forward to reading Wally Lamb's The Hour I First Believed!)  You have up until early December to finish your book.  ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS!
Miscellaneous
--Enjoy the break!  May the effects of tryptophan spare you from having to hear conversations about the effects of tryptophan.
