June 1--THIS POST IS FROM LAST YEAR! NO NEED TO READ FURTHER

Your research papers should be finished--as closely as you can get them, on Monday June 3rd. This includes in text citations and a works cited page.

JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT the OSLIS username and password:

We will continue to polish them this coming week but we will also be looking at nonfiction work from WWII. Most of this will be in-class work. Your homework will be to finish the research paper to the best of your ability.

Challenge Criteria Options

*As always, 10,000 grains Free Rice (if you did this last semester, it will have to be 20,000 total).
Remember, this is a website where you can practice your vocabulary. For every answer you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated to those in need. To do this, you must create an account, sign in, and earn (in multiple sessions) the equivalent of 10,000 grains of rice. Your account information will keep track of your total.

*Watch the older film "The Gentlemen's Agreement" with Gregory Peck and write a brief review.

*Watch "Argo" and write a review.

*Read Night by Elie Wiesel and meet in my room, Tuesday the 12th, during tutorial, to discuss as a book group. OR take meaningful notes/write a thoughtful response--whatever you choose. This is something I want every student who feels capable, or compelled to read. If we had more time in the year everyone would be reading it. So, please, please, please, consider this option especially if you are an A or B-seeking student.
