Weekend Homework

Short Stories are done, so it's time to move on.
Poetry and Speeches, time to get our groove on!
Bring papers if possible, we'll do something with those-
I think you'll like the challenge, but, really who knows?
Monday: hand in your poem made from slips of paper,
If everyone submits one, I promise to do a little *caper.
So a speech, a newspaper, a poem and you're done,
And despite rain on the weekend, have a little fun!

 * caper: to leap or prance about in a playful manner
"lambs capering in the meadow"

Casual Thursday

Tonight, there are two questions to complete,

If everybody gets them done, that would be neat.

You have to read Brother ,Dear- that's the first feat.

But hey, tomorrow's Friday. That alone is sweet!

Loconte is Back

Students are asking when the identity speech is due,

We are on its cusp, but gotta finish the DVD too.

Let's do that tomorrow and discuss how it's graded

So you can strive for a mark that's nicely elevated.

If you haven't started this project, it's time to start 
You wanna give yourself time to review each part.
But as for tonight your homework is simply to read:
a story called Keesh, about a boy who would lead.

The questions, I'm told, will be on the 'chat',

To complete them you don't need to be a technocrat.
