12th Grade: H.W.#53, Due Wednesday, 11/29

  1. Read chapter 35.
  2. Write at least two post-it notes. What conflicts does Jane experience in this chapter? How do you feel about them?
  3. Keep on reviewing all vocabulary words assigned in this unit. (Practice quizzes are available on vocabulary.com as well as great illustrations and explanations of the words).
  4. Note how the narrator uses language to express her thoughts and feelings and those of St. John’s. Select one place in the text that is especially touching, effective, awesome, or in any other way emotionally engaging. Record your reactions to specific phrases on post-it notes or a separate sheet of paper. You will read these out in class. The idea is to make you focus on the language of the novel in order to allow you to see how the novelist directs reader-responses to the text.
  5. If you think you did poorly on the vocabulary quiz (because you didn’t really study for it), go back to the words.
  6. Looking Ahead
  7. After we finish reading the book, you will write an in-class passage analysis on a passage from Jane Eyre that will count as a major assessment grade. Please note that only those with medical absence notes will be permitted to take it immediately upon their return to school. People who cut class on that day will receive an automatic zero on the passage analysis major assessment. We will have a practice run on the day before with a sample response. Don’t miss that class, either, if you’d like to get a good sense of what’s expected on the response.
