Here are a list of the other assignments all of the 10th grade will have for this week:

TOMORROW: You will have a quiz over the definitions of the literary elements that we reviewed, INCLUDING point of view and the four perspectives from which a story is told (even though Julia and Jin Hyung haven't given their presentation.) The rest of that class period will be used for Julia and Jin Hyung's presentation. THIS WILL NOT BE MATCHING OR FILL IN THE BLANK!

Thursday: 10A- Cassie and Issac will give their presentation over Oedipus the King and then you will have the rest of the time to work on the comprehension questions for 'Hind's Feet on High Places.'

We will go over the answers to 'Hinds Feet on High Places' next Tuesday.

Your next reading assignment for Antigone is to read p.79-100 by 9/16.

HEAD'S UP: I don't know when I will be assigning this, but I've decided to give you guys a creative writing assignment in which you write either an allegory or satire of H.I.S. Start thinking about this so you can prepare for it.
