Homework for Monday, May 7

Due to the large number of assignments that were based on the movie rather than the book and/or were copied, there is no homework for Monday.  Work like this wastes my time and yours.  Instead you will be quizzed on the material.  You will base your answers on YOUR reading and analysis alone.  Only the book will be available to you in the next quiz, which will be Monday, May 7 and include the material from pages 136 - 231.  Andy, Candice and Echo should still send me 5 vocabulary words and 3 questions next Sunday night.  I will quiz you on the vocabulary and perhaps use their questions on the quiz.  What we do the rest of the quarter depends on how you all do next week.
