Homework-LA4 and HLA 4
LA4-Voc. 6 Poetry Set 1 Due: Monday
HONORS: Read ch. 1-8 of Secret Life of Bees and complete the compare/contrast note-taker. Due: 5-11-18
You will be reading this novel on your own while doing Unit 3 work in class (POETRY), so do not lag behind on your reading! You will be writing a compare/contrast essay between TKAM and Bees. I suggest using post-its in this novel, like TKAM (keep as a resource for the time being), to keep track of various thematic ideas which will be an aide to you in class as well as for the essay. Expect an in-class assignment based on the reading when it and the note-taker are due.
The first column of the chart should be your thoughts/insights on the given motif, the second should have several quotes examples with chapter/pg# of the motif, and the third box should have several examples from TKAM with ch/pg# (use your post its). This will be evidence for your essay, so choose your OWN examples and do NOT copy another student’s work! Theme ch. 1-8
Unit 2 Review Sheet due Wednesday!
If you were absent Monday and did not receive the review sheet, it is posted here: Review TKAM 2018
