AR - 9th regular

Charles Dickens's Great Expectations

The following information is for the 9th regular class. If you are looking for information for 9th advanced, click here. 

Also, tomorrow is the last day to sign up for your second AR book. If you fail to sign up for a second book, or choose a book that is not allowed, you will receive a zero daily grade, and I will choose your second book for you. For further info, see this post.

Listed in the chart below is your reading schedule for the novel. On or after each due date, you may take a quiz (daily grade) on the information in the required chapters, except for March 26 and April 16. You will take a test on chapters 1-15 of Great Expectations on March 26 and chapters 16-34 on April 16. If you are absent the day or days before a quiz/ test, you will still take the quiz/test. You have plenty of warning. If you are absent on the day we take a quiz or test, you will take it or another version of it on your FIRST DAY back.

Great Expectations is more difficult than Animal Farm. If you do not keep up with the reading, you will do poorly. You must bring your book to class every day. If we have any free time at the end of the class period, I expect you to spend it reading this novel.

On your quizzes and tests, you will be responsible for anything in the assigned chapters and anything we've discussed in class.

Please note that all chapter headings refer to our specific copy of the abridged version. All other versions of the book are broken down differently. It is your responsibility to know what is required if you did not buy the correct version of the book.
