AP Psych: access a diagram of the neuron and learn its parts and functions

12th grade Eng.: have written notes prepared for when we discuss the Parini poem.  There’s a lot there, and it is accessible on many levels.  I expect you to dive in when we start analyzing it.

All other Eng. classes: download this book review from the 4/12/12 New York Times: Escape From Camp 14 by Blaine Harden.  Write a short essay (one page at least) in which you discuss whether you would befriend Shin Dong-hyuk.  Why? How? Any limitations? Make sure you develop your ideas.

AP Psych: make a list of any questions you have from the handouts

12th grade Eng.: Given Beryl Markham’s name, profession,  and the year the selection was written, what would be a reasonable assumption about who she is? (Do not look this up.) She states that she can see ahead of her and behind her when she is in her plane.  Does this imply that she can see the future and the past?  Do you think she really has a panoramic vantage point when she is flying, or is she literally and figuratively “above it all”? How did you react to her description of the animals she caused to panic?

All other Eng. classes: make a new part of speech as indicated after each of the following.  Write a sentence with each new word. Contend (noun);hilarious (noun); legal (noun); parsimony (adj.); better (noun); arid (noun); icon (adj.); convey (noun); munificent (noun); detriment (adj.); emerge (adj.)
