What a Tangled Web Weave When Our Mom Marries Our Uncle

It's time for Hamlet!With that being said you will be quizzed after each act. Initially we will read the first act of Hamlet together, but you will be required to read some portions on your own. We will discuss all the acts and scenes in class as a whole group and even in small collaborative groups.

Anything that we read is fair game for a quiz...let me repeat anything that we read is fair fame for a quiz.

Click on the link ---->  Hamlet Act I Quiz this is a CLOSED note/book quiz. All you have to rely on is what you remembered from your readings. Good Luck.

It's All Great and about Gatsby

We have just started the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and unlike Catcher in the Rye where we read the novel in class, you are going to be responsible for reading large parts of the novel on your own. With that being said, we will discuss what is going on in the novel in class. You read at home, annotate in your book or on post-it-notes (if you've borrowed the novel) and come to class prepared to ask questions, discuss and dissect the chapters you were responsible for reading.

Only one problem really persists--yes, you can talk your way out of the discussion questions in class without having actually read the novel so what's a Mrs. Ordway to do?

Well, you will be given online quizzes about the pages or chapters I've asked you to read on your own. Now, we will discuss the BIG ideas in class, but I am free to quiz you about things you will know only if you've read. See. Sneaky.

Here is your first quiz just click on the link ----->  Great Gatsby Chapter One Quiz take the quiz and Viola! You're done with the first quiz.
