TODAY IN CLASS
Short classes.  Even shorter in 5th, which unaccountably left at 2:05.  Today's schedule had said 2:10.

So the most important thing to go over is the overnight homework for Crime and Punishment, for which 5th period was only told, "Check the blog!"

First, then, you know that you should be finished with the book, including the Epilogues.  Tomorrow you will receive a written assignment on the epilogues that will be due on Monday night via turnitin.com.  So if you are behind on your reading, obviously catch up ASAP.

FOR TOMORROW
1) Start studying both sides of the Crime and Punishment hand-out you received in class. It is preparation for both the in-class timed write which will form your final assessment for C & P as well as for making use of this text on the free response Question 3.  (See below for links)

2) Specifically in writing for tomorrow--
Develop more detailed notes (brief comments plus relevant page numbers for your edition) for SUFFERING as well as for two other elements listed on the "Patterns" side of the hand-out. 1st period students, note that I am clarifying one important aspect of the "page number" part of the written work:  you need to have at least two quotations for each category.  Not two for each bulleted point or person, but a mere two per "pattern."  Those quotations need the correct page number for your edition.

  • For the required-of-everyone "suffering," the tips you are given mention characters beyond the more obvious choices.  You need to start with the obvious choices!   List WHO, briefly account in bulleted form for the nature of their suffering.  For the ones listed on the hand-out, you need to supplement the evidence with the particulars.  [Go for reasonable thoroughness here; please, those several of you likely to try to be exhaustive, do not try to provide Every. Single. One.]
  • Now pick TWO others (any two).  There are head-starts provided for most of these as well; clarify them, and add anyone / anything else that seems especially relevant.  
You may type this assignment of course, or you may write by hand.

What students received in class was a two-sided hand-out; each side is linked separately here:
