Greetings Juniors:
I hope the start of this week presents suitable opportunities for you to meet some new characters, write some creative responses, and reflect in more ways about life and literature. This week, I expect you to do three things:
- Read Of Mice and Men…about a chapter a day (reading schedule posted to google classroom as well as the link to the novella-short novel).
- Respond in a meaningful way to the plot/characters/themes of this story (posted ideas for you to choose from in google classroom but I am open to your suggestions about any ideas you may also have). Reading responses are due the week after our spring break (4/13 thru 4/17) although you are encouraged to complete one after you finish reading each chapter this week.
- Relax from research a bit…I will keep checking the sources (you should have 1, 2, and 3 turned in so far) and feedback to you so that you can work better on sources 4 and 5. I will set the due dates for those later as well.
My goals this week will be threefold as well:
- Communicate regularly with you Please forward any questions/concerns to me. I will get back with you as soon as possible, especially during our regular school hours.
- Continue returning your work and providing feedback to steer you.
- Compose a list of suggested readings as a resource for those of you who are looking for a great read.
This will be our last week before break next week, so spend it wisely and well. I had a bad case of dehydration this past week and I have a lingering headache because of that…Remember to stay hydrated, healthy, and home.
I miss you much,
Dr. Kassem
