English 10 Homework due March 28:

Any Homework that you did not do over the Break, is due Tuesday tomorrow morning at 8:20am in my In Basket. Below is the homework you should have done. 

Below is that Homework that is due tomorrow:

1. Poetry: Read and do the Multiple Choice questions for "Follower," "Water Picture," "The Blizzard" and "The Lonely Land." 

You need to read a poem several times to understand it well.  You also need to look up words that you don't know.  Take your time, reread, and understand - and you will do better.

2. Short Stories and Synthesis: A) Read the short story "Lawrence Lemieux Lifesaver" and do the Multiple Choice. B) Then read "Raymond's Run" and do the Multiple Choice. C) Then work on ideas/bullets of synthesis in the two stories.  These should show how the stories have differences and similarities in them.  Make a list of these differences and similarities. D)Using your synthesis of ideas, write a developed essay showing the similarities and differences. 

Your essay structure requires an : Introduction  that introduces the two stories and the Thesis Statement, the main point/synthesis of the stories. You must have a minimum of two Body Paragraphs, each of them showing Synthesis, and a Concluding Paragraph, that states the Thesis, again, and ends on the important theme of it all.  

I would prefer you Word Process your work in Times New Roman, 12 point font, and 1.5 or 2 spacing. 

Today we will go over the synthesis. Tomorrow, Tuesday, 28th we will go over the multiple choice for the Short Stories and poems.
