Literature 7-8
We will be doing some review before we begin another unit. We will begin by reviewing the first 3 poems in this unit: "Molly," Bean Eaters," and "Mother to Son." Please follow directions carefully, and ask me about anything you don't understand. In your textbook, there is a section after each poem called "Seeking Meaning." First, number each question and write it out on your paper. Clearly label the questions so that I know which poem you are responding to. Next, answer each question clearly and accurately on the basis of the text. Notice that there are sometimes several questions for one number. Make sure you are answering them all. Due one week from today, no later than noon on Wednesday, April 15.
Several students are behind in their work. Either they have not done it at all, or I have sent it back because it was not done properly. If you owe me work, get it finished promptly and properly now that you have some time off.
American Literature
Read the rest of The Red Badge of Courage (chs. 23-24). Write and answer 10 how/why questions based on those chapters. Due one week from today no later than noon on Wednesday, April 15. If you owe me other work, get it done before then.
British Literature
Finish Part 2 of The Power and the Glory. Each time you finish a chapter, you are supposed to email me with a) questions about the chapter, b) impressions of the chapter, and c) a sparkle and your reason for choosing it. Do not send more than one chapter at a time. Due one week from today no later than noon on Wednesday, April 15.

You are to be reading Perelandra. Each time you finish a chapter, you are supposed to email me with a) questions about the chapter, b) impressions of the chapter, and c) a sparkle and your reason for choosing it.

For those who owe me work, turn it in immediately. For the rest of you, there is no assignment for next week, but it is always wise to review.
Introduction to French
Watch a 13-minute video about St. Malo here. (That is the city where Ann will be staying in la Bretagne, France.) While you are watching it (or after), respond to the following. Due no later than noon on Wednesday, April 15.
1. What are the aspects of the city that the videographer gives the most attention to? Name several within and outside the wall of the city. 2. What is your impression of the city? Is it a place you might like to visit? Why or why not? 3. Ask a question or two about what you saw. (The sound track uses Celtic music because La Bretagne has a Celtic background.)
Intermediate French
No new assignments, but it is always wise to review.
