English Homework for Friday, Day 6, Oct 17

Class One: Read and mark-up "The Sniper." finish "graphic organizing" the vocab words.

Class Two: Finish reading and marking-up "The Sniper." Finish the vocab words. Remember: you are responsible for ALL words in the short story, not just the ones we went over in class. You must know the meaning of the word, its part of speech, at least one synonym and one antonym, and be able to use it in a "real" sentence (I'll explain.)

Class Five: Bring your marked-up copy of "The Sniper." We'll go over the vocab so if you've found words that you do know, now would be a good time to look those up, either on line (www.dictionary. com) or in an old-fashioned dictionary.

Class Six (for Monday): We know that the theme of "the Sniper" is war. But you must decide what the author's message is and then explain or describe Liam O'Flaherty's message. you must use a minimum of three details from the text to support your thesis statement.

Next week-probably Day Three-we'll have a vocab quiz from "The Sniper."
