Scroll down to view homework assignments and major deadlines.

Note: the homework after each meeting is the homework you should do AFTER the meeting (it's not the homework due for that class meeting).

Meeting one: type up AT THE VERY LEAST five sentences worth of a freewrite that you've already done on either a person, place, song, or object that matters to you. Type without editing; try simply to type what you've freewritten verbatim (word for word). Make sure that you either print out this typed up document or that you bring the assignment with you on your laptop.
 * week of 8/29 - 9/02**

"Lifejackets and Labradors" paper rough draft due on Friday, 9/02, in class. Final draft of paper to be emailed to me by midnight on Wednesday, 9/14 (NOTE new date).
 * ONGOING DEADLINES:**

Meeting one: read and annotate the selection from Talk Thai Meeting two: freewrite for one page, single spaced on a time when you have been extremely hungry for something (in a metaphorical way...meaning a time when you've really, really wanted something)
 * week of 9/11 - 9/16**

Meeting Three: (due on Friday for both 3rd and 4th period) Write down one quote from Catcher that deals with Holden and the opposite sex. Then, freewrite for one page, single-spaced about how what you think Holden thinks of girls, of sex, of dating... feel free to bring in other examples from the book. This is a freewrite, so the worst junk in America is okay, as long as you are also going for the jugular and you are being real.
 * week of 9/19 - 9/23**

Catcher/Talk Thai/Black Ice VOCAB quiz: 3rd period: on Wednesday, 9/28 4th period: on Thursday, 9/29
 * ONGOING DEADLINES:**
