English homework:
Continue the reading of Things Fall Apart this week. Chapters 14-19 (Part II) are due to be finished on Friday. We will take a reading quiz--focus on characters, places, events, changes that affect the community. The questions will be due that day. Because I may not have enough time to check them all in class, I will take up Part II GRQs (Guided Reading Questions) on the same day the following week that I take up Part III GRQs.
Chapters 20-25 (Part III)--reading and GRQs--will be due on Wednesday, September 30. I will take up the GRQs for Parts II and III that day!
World History homework:
Finish packet section on India, pages 7-11 of the packet. Due Thursday, September 24.
TEST ON THURSDAY on Ancient Civilizations. The test will be based on your packet pages 1-6 (basics of History through the Ancient Israelites) and on your class notes and readings. Focus especially on things we have done in detail in class, like cause and effect (cough *Neolithic Revolution* cough cough), compare/contrast, broad themes with universal relevance (like justice) and general ways to study civilizations, societies, and history.
You may use your packet on the test! However, most points will come from your ability to synthesize (not just recall) class content. Email with any questions!
