A Poem to Start us Off

Welcome back students of High School English!
I've changed my blog theme for a look more stylish.
But what's really important are the contents in here
Check back daily where I'll post them with cheer.
First week back, I always keep homework light
Just make sure it's done by the end of the night.
So, reading for the 12s and questions for the 11s:
Work simple enough to assign to the sevens!

• Read just past paragraph 110 of The Most Dangerous Game. STOP at the line break.

• Finish reading Learning the Language. Make a list of all the similes in the story put a star beside the best one and explain why. THEN copy a sentence from the story where you feel the perspective of the narrator changes and explain why.  HW questions may be written on lined paper in a notebook or binder, or you may type them out to show me on your laptop on Monday.
