English 11


Welcome back! Tonight, read over "The Lamb" by William Blake. Look up any words you do not know. Please also look up the vocabulary words on the reverse side of that same handout. The words are: sustenance, deliberation, agitated, insouciant, lithesome, ponderous, attrition, panorama, morale, spectacle, delusion, and outwit.

On Friday, you will write one paragraph response to our class novel. You will choose a quotation that you find appealing (or repellent or controversial or curious...) from the selection covered in our second Literature Circle (chapters 23-46). The paragraph will be approximately 150-250 words. You can discuss how the quotation relates to character, theme, conflict, symbol /irony, or any other aspect of the story. You will be able to bring your text and an English to English dictionary to class that day.
