Finishing out F451 (Honors hours 2,3,5,7)

We will take the F451 test on Tuesday of next week, as previously discussed as the most likely date.  Here is what you need to/should do to be ready.  We will spend class time today and on Monday specifically addressing your questions as needed:

-Finish reading the book, researching/supplementing your understanding of core literary elements of it
-Use the previously posted guiding questions to establish your framework for how the test will be structured and what type of content you will see
-Directly compare Montag's journey through F451 to Barbara Kingsolver's "journey" in High Tide in Tucson.
-Notes?  I would
-Open book and notes? Yep, but doesn't do much good if that's all ya got.

Rest of this week: 

All classes.

Wed/Thurs: VocabEssay3

Friday: Short Story unit test in hours 4 and 6 (Non-honors).  If you are not here today,  you will need to read High Tide in Tucson (pg. 496) for Friday.  You will have time to read in class on Wed/Thurs.  If you are not caught up, you need to be by then.

Honors:
We will finish up with F451 next week.  Likely test date is Tuesday.  Short story unit test tbd.


Potential volunteer opportunity for cultural enrichment extra credit.  Come see me or email me if you are interested and I will get you more information/contact info.

The 32nd annual Shawnee Indian Mission Fall Festival is Oct 12-14. 60-ish craft/food vendors, kids games, pony rides, live music, etc...We still need volunteers for 2.5 hour shifts, especially on the Sunday.

Reminder that we have VocabEssay3 this week.  Still missing some V1's; those will probably start to turn into 0's in the next few weeks.  Don't jeopardize eligibility/grade due to this oversight if you are still missing it.

Honors: F451 home stretch in the next week or so.  Check in on G-Class for theme and concept prep for the second half of the book.  Short story intro test will be coming soon as well.

Standard: Short story theme link in G-Class.
