English I College Prep
English I College Prep for the week of April 13:
Students have worked diligently on their Comparing Epics papers. The seven paragraph final paper and peer review sheet are due on Wednesday, April 16. Students will view the film The Odyssey and will also read the last excerpts of the epic.
Students should bring vocabulary workbooks to class on Friday. We will discuss the new words in Lesson 7 (pg. 27), and students should complete the sentence completion unit and flashcards with the definition and part of speech. These will be due on Tuesday, April 22.
The next unit will revolve around the introduction of the dramatic structure and the study of Romeo and Juliet. The play is located in the Elements of Literature textbook. Students may also want to purchase Barron's Shakespeare Made Easy: Romeo and Juliet as the original text is paired with a modern translation.

Thanks,
Mrs. Condra
