Welcome Back to Honors
10th World Lit!
I hope you had a
fabulous Winter Break.
This letter contains
just a few reminders and pointers to bring us back to a successful Spring
Semester.
- Errand Passes will be passed
out to each student who brings the bottom portion of this paper (which will be sent home on Friday) back
signed. Remember, Errand Passes are your tickets out the door, your
one day late pass, and turn into extra credit at the end of the semester.
- We’re starting our Parallel
Reading of Night by Wiesel on Monday. There are copies in the
library, or you can buy your own.
- Other books you need are Doll’s
House by Ibsen (although it is in the online textbook) and the No Fear
Shakespeare version of Taming of the Shrew, which you need to be
able to access it in the classroom.
- I frequently send home mass
emails through Synergy. Please check that your email is correct in Synergy
to ensure that you them.
- I put everything I can on
the blog.
- With Flu reaching epidemic
levels (seriously, that is what the CDC has labeled it this year), we
would love donations of tissue and hand sanitizer for the classroom.
Some Lysol wipes wouldn’t hurt either.
I’m really excited about
the topics we’re going to be covering this semester (even if a few of them are
a bit depressing) in our units The Search for Meaning (reading Night by
Wiesel, “The Metamorphosis” by Kafka, and selections from The Inferno by
Dante), Gender and Society (reading Doll’s House by Ibsen and Taming
of the Shrew by Shakespeare), and ending the year with Around the World
through Poetry (reading a variety of poems from around the world).
I’m looking forward to an awesome semester and hope you
are, too!
Kim Bundschu
