Here you will find a general description of what is for homework. If you need a copy of the handouts, they will be uploaded to my link on the side bar. Once in the file, select the correct folder for what we are currently studying. Most handouts are there, however some may need to be picked up in class as I do not have a digital version.

Hum 8
Think about what the athletes said today. Can you make any connections to the robert Frost poem? Do you see how they are and have been on a personal journey. Be prepared to discuss this in your groups on Monday.

Think of questions as you are preparing to write in Mondays class.
Post on teh Thisisdifficulttodecideblog. I believe you can link from the side bar of this blog to get to it.
I have add the assignment below.
Think about one of the big ideas.

List questions you want to address about power, ambition, humanity, self worth, integrity, or loyalty

From these questions write a piece that addresses those questions.

You are going to make sure you explain what it means in context to how you attain it, how you maintain it, ways it is used ways you could lose it etc.

Develop your explanations with evidence from your short stories and use specific examples to help explain and support your thesis. Compare and contrast how your stories reflect evidence to support your big idea. Remember to keep coming back to your big idea.

Another way to think about it is:


Where is your question situated in these experiences and how is it articulated and why?

Blog piece-Connection to Big Ideas


On the class blog (thisisdifficulttodecide)


Select a visual or a quote or whatever, create a link to it It can be the one you have already used on your personal blog.(It does not have to be what you presented on). We are now sharing with the class.
Then tell your classmates and me why you selected it. What does it mean to you and how did it help you understand your big idea.
