Homework

Homework: In order to avoid the dreaded pop-quizzes, I have started checking notebooks for homework question responses on the day we will be discussing them in class. Today was the first day. If you had an unexcused absence for Wednesday this week, when the homework was assigned, or today, when it was checked, or just didn't do the homework for whatever reason, you have a chance to get partial credit if you answer the questions in the back section of your notebook by next time (Monday). If your absence for either day was excused, be sure and remind me when I am checking notebooks, so I can asses your homework accordingly.

Homework for Monday: 1) Read Erlking story and poem. 2) Find a word you are unsure of in either this story, or another word from the two earlier Carter stories. Look up the definition, copy it down along with the context from the story (the sentence in which it appears). 3)Formulate a discussion question from the Carter story of Erlking. This question should include a quotation, and can even be about the quotation. 4) Formulate another discussion question. This one is a little more open, it can encompass the story and the poem, or either one considered separately.
