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.
