Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Reading over break

Please read through chapter 7 of the Scarlet Letter for Monday, December 2nd.

 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 Monday is The Governor's Hall")

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 later before Winter Break. 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.

A link to the Scarlet Letter is available here.

Thinks to think about:

What makes Hester Hester?
Who is this mysterious man and what is his problem?
Why is the minister so messed up?
And what on earth is going on with Pearl?
