Official Permission

That's right, you have official permission (a rare treat, I know) to go a watch some actual media.  Check out these recommendations on film adaptations of a few classic novels, and maybe try the works on which they are based!  Have fun!

Take a really long hike!

Last week's assignment was to get you in shape for this week: get lost!  Find some nice woodsy wild place and vanish with a book or three and enjoy the combined delight of nature and literature.  Life doesn't get much better!

Take a hike

Yes, ditch the book (for once) and get outside and enjoy this fleeting wonderfulness called Spring!  Frodo will be waiting for you when you get back.

An assignment too good to be true!

It's spring, go outside and play, better yet, go outside and read (the best of both worlds!).

You have one guess...

Yes, you are correct, this week you MUST read 'Return of the King,' and I need a sixty page, single spaced, size 12 font paper comparing and contrasting the journey of Frodo with that of Odysseus (I suppose that means you need to read the 'Odyssey' too!) by Thursday...anybody missing English 101 yet?  At least the reading list is better!
