Please read the two short excerpts from Emerson in your red book: "Nature" and "Self-Reliance" for Thursday.
You will need to read Chapters 2(?)-6 of The Scarlet Letter for Friday, 11/16. You are going to skip the chapter "The Custom House" and begin with the chapter "The Prison Door". (The reason I put a question mark after chapter two is that I'm not sure how all editions number their chapters. The last chapter that we are reading for Friday is "Pearl")
Please keep track of vocabulary words that are new to you as you are doing your reading. You will need to demonstrate your new vocab acquisition during the week of December 10th. The method of showing your new vocab is up to you: you may choose to make a list with definitions, flash cards, a quizlet, post-it notes in your book--whatever works best for your brain.
