Project Checkpoint

Begin working on your Of Mice and Men project. If you're making a power point, begin researching and planning your slides. Remember, you must cite all sources in MLA format. If you're making a movie trailer, begin planning when you will film and edit your movie. Begin planning who will be in it and which scenes you will include.

Write at least two paragraphs about your progress on your project. Discuss any problems or setbacks that might occur. Due Friday, April 24.

Of Mice and Men Unit

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is the final novel we will read in freshman English. It is a short novel with only six chapters and we will read the book in class. To prove how much you've learned this year you will write three five part paragraphs during this unit. Here's an out line of topics and due dates:

1. Chapters 1 & 2: foreshadowing, due Monday, April 20
2. Chapters 3 & 4: loneliness, due Friday, April 24
3. Chapters 5 & 6: your choice, due Wednesday, April 29

One of these will be revised for a final draft due Friday, May 1.

You will also be working on a project on your own that you will post on your blog and present to the class: this is the research power point or movie trailer.
