English I Honors continued with the poetry work, still focusing on connotations. Our poem for this has been Robert Hayden’s excellent “Those Winter Sundays.”

English Studies (fifth period) completed the comparison work with Nightjohn and the film version. We’ll be creating an argument about this tomorrow and in the first days back from fall break.

English Strategies (fourth period) worked on the final chapters of Nightjohn, still applying effective readers’ skills to the selections.

Homework

• English 8: continue working on the final project for the Nightjohn unit.
• English I Honors: answer the question on “Those Winter Sundays” on the Moodle site.
