Biblical Allusions Mini-Project

Hi Students,

As you know from class I introduced the Biblical allusions mini-project today. The project is due Monday, February 11th. Make certain to refer to the instruction and rubric packet. (I have made the packet available under the "Handouts" tab of the blog as Google docs.) There is also an extra-credit component for those whom are interested.

Enjoy the weekend and I look forward to reading and viewing your work :-)

December Updates

Hi Students,

Remember to follow the December calendar I distributed in class earlier this week. It states the assignments for the next two weeks. Remember your Alice's Adventures in Wonderland test (will include content and vocabulary) will be on Friday, December 21st.

Read The Hobbit over the course of the month. It is an expectation that you complete the reading by January 3rd, 2013. The reading of The Hobbit is for pleasure. No note-taking is required!

Check out this website, sponsored by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC): Victorian Britain
Here you can discover what it was like to live in Victorian England as a child, since Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is set in this time period. Feel free to click around and explore!

All the best with your studies,
~Mrs. Occean Callum
