Syllabus for Honors English Tenth Grade

Essay One: "Why Johnny Can't Pass His Fitness Test" Due: September 12

Week One
Literature Genre: The Short Story
"The Cold Equations" Tom Godwin (9)
Barton, the pilot of a lightweight spacecraft, has only hours to help a teenage stowaway, Marilyn Lee Cross, understand and accept the inevitable and fatal consequences of her action.*
Differentiated Assignment--Changing the Ending: You are a researcher in the year 2196. You discover some pages of an ancient textbook containing a short story called "The Cold Equations." However, the final pages are missing. The last bit of text you can read is Marilyn's "I'm ready" on page 27. Write a plausible resolution for the story that is different from the present ending. Suppose you are an optimistic researcher. Is it possible to find a happy ending?*

Week Two
"The Bet" Anton Chekhov (210)
In 19th Century Russia, a young lawyer agrees to undergo fifteen years of solitary confinement to prove that imprisonment for life is preferable to capital punishment.*
Differentiated Assignment--Debate: Where do you stand on the question of life imprisonment vs. the death penalty? Do you agree with the lawyer that, "to live anyhow is better than not at all"? Or do you believe as the banker does that a quick execution is more humane than a lifetime of confinement? Write an editorial for the school or local newspaper, expressing your views on the subject. Be sure to evaluate the conflicting claims of the community, of victims, of victims' families, and of convicted individuals. Using your editorial stand as a resource, participate in a classroom debate involving imprisonment vs. the death penalty.* Debate skills are covered on page 1018.

Persuasion Periodic Assessment Selection: "Ain't I A Woman?" Sojourner Truth

Essay: School Junk Food: Due September 26

Week Three
"Through the Tunnel" Doris Lessing (277)
While on vacation at the seashore, Jerry learns about an underwater tunnel that older boys are swimming through. Determined to do the same, Jerry spends a week training for the event.*
Differentiated Assignment--Collage: A collage is an arrangement of images (photographs, magazine art, drawings), words, and other objects (sand, shells, stones, and so forth) glued to a surface. Make a collage called "The Wild Bay." Find words from the text that can go with your images. What mood do you wat to convey in your collage?*

Persuasion Periodic Assessment: Speeches by Bill Clinton and Cesar Chavez
Assessment Writing Task

Week Four
Literature Genre: Nonfiction
"Hair" from The Autobiography of Malcolm X (345)
Malcolm X relates what he learned about himself the first time he conked his hair, turning it straight, like a white person's hair.*
Differentiated Assignment--Research/Drawing: Look up pictures of hairstyles throughout the course of history. Draw four or five of them, and write an informative caption for each. Some possible examples: conked hair; the pageboy; the Afro; cornrows; long hippie hair; punk hair; the crew cut; ponytail; ducktail; powdered wigs; the squash-blossom hairstyle of the Hopis.*

Essay: Violence in Video Games Due: October 10

Administration of the Persuasive Periodic Assessment

Week Five
"No News From Auschwitz" Rosenthal (410)
A journalist visits the memorial at the infamous concentration camp of Auschwitz.*
Differentiated Assignment--Drawing, Poster, Collage, Exhibit: Maya Ying Lin was a twenty-one-year-old architecture student when she submitted the winning design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.: two long black granite walls inscribed with the names of those who died in the war. Choose an important historic event (it does not have to be tragic) that interests you, and think about the visual ways that could be used to remind people of what happened and why it is important. You may want to brainstorm ideas with a partner or small group. Then, create a poster, a collage, an exhibit, or a model or drawing of a monument to memorialize the event.*


*Credit: Elements of Literature, 4th Course (Holt-Rinehart-Winston Publishing)

Week Six

Literature Genre: Poetry
Forms of Poetry and Metrical Feet: Iambus, Trochee, Spondee, Dactyl, and Anapest; Marlowe-Raleigh-Housman's "Passionate Shepherd, Nymph's Reply and One and Twenty"; Literary Ballad: "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" Coleridge; Ballade: "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways" Wordsworth; Blank Verse: Hamlet (Act I, Scene 3) Shakespeare

Week Seven
Sonnets: "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" Keats; "No. 73" Shakespeare; "Courage" Sexton; "Mending Wall" Frost; "Mother to Son" Hughes
Differentiated Assignment--Parody: A parody is a work that makes fun of another work by imitating some aspect of the writer's style. In her parody, "Mending Test" Penelope Bryant Turk, meaning no disrespect to Frost, offers her apologies at the outset.

Portfolio Preparation and Student Reflections September 3-December 19, 2008

Late Work Policy
It is the policy of this class that students who are absent and provide an acceptable excuse may make up assignments or tests the day following their return to class; the assignment or test will be scored and returned to students. Students must mark on the assignment or test the following information: the specific date of absence, the day they first returned to class, the assignment number and date the assignment is actually submitted. If an assignment or test is not completed on the day following the return to class, the assignment or test will be scored as “credit” and not receive a letter grade. That “credit” neither raises nor lowers the students’ overall grade average. Verified truancies and unexcused absences from class will result in no credit received for work submitted.

Assigned vocabulary work must be received by due dates; five points will be deducted from test scores for work not received when due and ten points will be deducted from test scores for no work received.

Summer assignments that are not submitted by due date will be scored as “0,” which may negatively affect a student’s overall course score and earned class grade point average. Assignments that are completed and submitted late will receive only a “credit,” and not earn a letter grade; in this case a student must complete the work to avoid receiving a “0” but will still earn no letter grade for work that was completed. It is in the student’s best interest to meet deadlines and submit work of the highest quality by due dates.
*This policy supersedes all previous late work policy information.
