weekend homework resources :)

Seniors: A Tale of Two Cities in case you forgot yours to study from [or you didn't read it yet] :) if you need help reviewing, I recommend Schmoop rather than Sparknotes, as they actually know what they're talking about :)

Freshmen: To Kill a Mockingbird in case you forgot yours - read through chapter 27 by Monday!

Sophomores: this is the search engine we've been using for your literary criticism articles [click on EBSCOhost].

Christmas Break Homework Assignments

Merry Christmas!

In case you forgot or left something at school, your assignments are below with links to any worksheets or resources you might need.

• Seniors: Read pages 470-472, 478-486, and answer questions 1-7.
• Juniors: Read chapters 2-10 of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and write a one-page analysis, explained here.
• Sophomores: Read Act III of Hamlet and answer studyguide questions. If you get lost, here's the plot-summary video we watched in class that should get you up to speed. If it doesn't, try this.
• Freshmen: Read various poems and answer questions. Get the full list here.

Also, if you wanted the recipe for the orangey-brownies I had on Wednesday, get it here.

Have a fantastically merry Christmas and I'll see you in the new year! I leave you with this reminder of why Jesus came:

Because God loves us with a Never Stopping,
Never Giving Up, Always and Forever Love -
Heaven is breaking through!
He is sending us a Light from Heaven
To shine on us like the sun
To shine on those who live in darkness
And in the shadow of death
To guide our feet into the way of peace.

Be watchful of who you can be Jesus to over the next couple of weeks.

Love,

Mrs. Berg
