American: homework due 3/8

Hey guys,

I hope you had a fantastic snow day! That day won't be made up at the end of the year, so we have to pretend like we didn't miss a class and just keep moving on with your homework. In light of that:

- Read chapters 4 - 7 in Great Gatsby
-
Write a newspaper article in which you report on one of Gatsby's opulent parties. Interview guests, speculate about the host, describe the scene, the purpose, etc. This should be 1 - 2 pages long; it'd be fun if it was in newspaper type and in two columns. Maybe you can even find a picture or two to include? The more creative the better!
- Continue work on your vocab list

Let me know if you have any questions!

British: homework due 3/8

Hey guys,

I am SO bummed that we missed a day of Silas Marner! As you know - this is (ahem) a *favorite* of mine, and I really wanted that class time together. ...But I'm not gonna lie; the surprise day off was lovely!

So - here's your homework for this week. I realize it's a little hefty, but we can't afford to get behind. Thanks in advance for your understanding and good attitudes -- I really cherish that!

- Finish Silas Marner
-
Write a 5-paragraph essay (you can keep it shorter than normal; 2 - 3 pages is fine) on one of the following topics
1. The individual vs. the community
2. The significance of love and relationship
3. Sin of greed and its outworkings
- Come with your completed vocab list

Let me know if you have any questions!
