Week of April 25th to April 29th

All classes will be beginning new units this week! We have put a lot of work into the texts we are currently reading so it should be fulfilling and exciting to finish them and begin something new!

Honors English 9:

We will finish Great Expectations on Thursday. A paper and a test are to follow so begin thinking about what you would like to write your paper on. We have talked about symbolism throughout the novel (light and dark), unmet expectations, the fight between good and evil within characters and many other themes. Think about these to help you brainstorm.

The rest of the week will revolve around preparing for the Great Expectations test as well as the expository essay you will write.

Expository essay due Friday 5/6
