Directions: Today should be a simple experience. 10pt silent reading: You will lose this grade if you 1) talk at any point; 2) are not in one of the attachments to this announcement READING. NOTE: you can read from the Yeats announcement attachments as well if you prefer. Today is a test of whether you can do SILENT READING and LEARNING (and whether you want to be nice to me during Homecoming Week). You should be able to read 6+ of the essays, but those that want 30/30 on the IB Oral may wish to read everything here by your Dec. appt.I don't care which attachment you start reading first, but leave the Gatsby summary pdf for last if you read it at all.You can write down quotations and ideas worth storing in your brain for your December formal oral from the articles you read.
