Due 11/30

Please read through Chapter 19 of The Scarlet Letter. Continue your work with vocabulary acquisition and enjoy your reading time throughout the week. (Don't save it all for Sunday!)

Due Monday and Beyond!

For Monday, you are reading the excerpt from "Walden" in your textbook. Be prepared to discuss how this demonstrates Transcendental ideas.

For Friday you will need to have read chapters 1-8 of The Scarlet Letter. Please note that we are NOT reading the introductory section called "The Custom House". Please skip this and start with the chapter called "The Prison Door".

One of your main assignments for The Scarlet Letter is to increase your vocabulary so please keep track of new words and their definitions. If this gets overwhelming, you may need to pick and choose the words that you are looking up.

An online copy is available here. Remember also that the Scarlet Letter should be a free (or super cheap) download through Kindle or IBooks. You may purchase your own paper copy if you choose and some of us will be able to check out a paper copy from the library on Monday.

Due Friday

Research Emerson quotations online and select 5 that you really enjoy. Copy and paste the quotations into a document and format it so that you have a pretty readable font-size (around 20). Cut out each quotation individually, and bring them with you to class.

We will be doing a class activity with these quotations, so make sure to get this done so you don't feel left out.
