Ms. Tyre's English 9 Homework For Thurs. Feb. 6:

1. Strategies for Successful Students: Be working on the first 4 or 5 strategies, reflecting on your abilities and attitudes now, and what improvements you can make. Include concrete examples.  I would like to see these on Friday. You need to edit your writing carefully and revise before you print these out.  Remember, this assignment is in the first person, as it is you reflecting on the kind of student you are and want to become.

2. "The Weapon":  you should be working on the elements of literature (from your notes that I put on the board) and finish them tomorrow in class. I would like this finished by mid-block so we can start the next story. Also make sure your notes from today are complete as far as we have gone. We will add to these tomorrow.

3. Novel: relax after all your hard work and enjoy a few chapters of your novel!
