A note about summer reading:
With next week being our last week before Finals Week, I wanted to let you know about the Summer Reading assignment.
- Review The Glass Menagerie themes:
- Join Sparky Sweets, PhD in Thugnotes on YouTube: LINK
- **warning: mild language and some bleeped less-mild language**
- If you want a more traditional approach with Course Hero (sans the colorful language): LINK
- Finish and submit the Study Guide via email.
- If you have any questions about the play, I will be by my computer ready to respond for most of the day.
- The test will be available to take today, but you have through tomorrow at 3:30 to take it. It shows me the time you took on the test and if its longer than an hour, I get suspicious. If it keeps kicking you out because you have other windows open or you leave the testing window, it will pause you and I have to unpause you. So don't do that!
- I will send a Remind when the test is available.

Tuesday -
- The Glass Menagerie Test: If you did not get to take the test over TGM yesterday, take it today. I will disable access at 3:30. This grade can only help you and it's for a book that takes about 2 hours to read.
- Instead of trying to fit in a mythology unit, we will focus a bit more on poetry with the remaining 2 weeks of school, specifically sonnets.
Wednesday - In depth with Shakespeare's Sonnets
- Watch John Green's Crash Course on Shakespeare's Sonnets: LINK
Thursday - Here is my Screencast on Sonnets and specifically Sonnet 18: LINK
- Note: The last Summative grade you will have the opportunity to earn is the Poetry test. I am still waiting on word from administration on when the official last day of class is (since you guys will not take the EOC). Poetry test will be the day before the last day and then we can have a final farewell Zoom call together before your Summer break. We're almost there. If you do not have the grade you want in Lit, I am accepting all kinds of assignments. If you have a zero in vocab.com, go back and do it, then email me. You will be surprised how much it can help your grade.
A note about summer reading:
With next week being our last week before Finals Week, I wanted to let you know about the Summer Reading assignment.
- For Brit Lit Honors, students should read The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwall. It will serve as an excellent introduction to our first unit, The Anglo-Saxon period. There is a study guide; download it below: "LK Study Guide". Test will be first or second week of school. First major paper is a character analysis from it. Also, other tests like the unit test could make reference to items from the summer reading. You will be setting yourself back considerably if you do not read it.
- For 10th Lit on-level, download the document below and print it out. The first two pages describe the Hero's Journey a bit and then the books from which you only need to choose one. The last two pages are the assignment that accompanies it.
