3. Read "The Sirens"
4. Complete "The Sirens" worksheet up through Post Reading
5. Honors: meet with me about Dialectical Journals

Homework:

Attend tutorials, if needed. Today at lunch, Tuesday after school, Wednesday at lunch and Thursday after school.
1. Finish "The Sirens" worksheet - due tomorrow
2. HONORS: Dialectical Journal #2 (2 more entries) due tomorrow
-Your entries should come from the middle of your book.
-The text excerpts should be past page 50 and should be spaced out to reveal how the motif is   emerging, changing and or taking on new meaning or revealing new themes.
-Do not erase grades on the document.
-Make all suggested changes for a higher score and use comments as advice for the two entries due tomorrow.
-Do not "resolve" comments I've made to you, instead, "reply" back or ask questions.
-Keep working on the same document in google classroom. Some of you turned it in  electronically, so you will have to "unsumbit" to continue working on it.

Let's Get Started!
