Home studies, Week of 2/26-3/2/07

Not much in the way of home studies this week:

9th grade literature: read Page 7 of "The Dead" for Friday. We'll read/listen to the tape in class Friday, then you finish reading the story over the weekend.

European and World Literature: Read pages 1178-1185 (section one of "The Death of Ivan Ilyich") and come prepared to discuss on Friday. It's short, so re-read if you don't understand. Feel free to look up a summary of the story, but you must also read the original -- remember, we're trying to get a sense of what realism and naturalism sounded like.

Everybody: see the post below for the revised research paper deadlines!
