Hey all, here's your homework:
1. My Antonia, Book 1 – The Shimerda’s, Ch. 1 – 15
2. Research assignments: (SEAN, pick whichever you like. You only need to do one.)
a) Report on advise/etiquette manuals from the turn-of-the-century that give instructions on proper moral behavior - dating and marriage, farming, dancing, clothing, and entertainment.
b) Research Bohemians and their way of life; give information about the land, occupations, foods, recreation, and special skills or interests of the people.
c) Willa Cather’s life – biography.
d) Immigration
e) Homesteading on the Prarie: laws, homes, education, customs.
This should be around 3-4 pages long, and will be presented orally. Be ready to turn in the printed copy to Mrs. Hoover. I will get them from her.
3. Each person must create a 5 question quiz from his own oral report and print 5 copies. You must also bring your own answer key to class.
4. Get your report cards signed by a parent and give them to Mrs. Hoover.
Have a fabulous week!
