Quiz on Corn Planting (CP), Worn Path (WP), and Jilting of Granny Weatherall (JGP)

Please listen to the story "The Corn Planting" at the attached link below. The full text of this story is not available at any link I could find, but this audio recording has the full text and only takes 15 minutes to listen.

Due Mon. April 26 by 11:59 PM

Please read the short story "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway at the link below, and then return to this assignment to complete the Google Doc provided no later than Mon. April 12 at 11:59 PM.

**DO NOT answer the questions at the bottom of the PDF of the story itself. Only complete the Google Doc. The questions I am attaching on the Google Doc are (mostly) different and are in many cases the ones from the textbook, which will guide your thinking in terms of how you will be tested on this piece.

Let's try this again.  I made a mistake and forgot to change the setting on the form that associates your email addresses with your response.  If you could please complete this new form and submit it by the end of the day today (Friday), I would really appreciate it!  I'm so sorry for the confusion.

Please completed the attached questions on the doc provided based on the poems linked. These questions are due by Wed. March 31 at 11:59 PM.

After reading the story posted for the Wed. material/reading assignment, please complete the following questions on the Google Doc provided.

1. Read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (on Google Classroom through the separate Savvas Realize link). When you open the link, I know the "book" looks like a lot of pages but it's really only a paragraph on each page, with pictures. It truly is just a (longer) short story. I've extended the due date for this assignment anyway to give you time to complete it!

2. Complete the project on the doc provided (see doc for instructions) or upload a handwritten/drawn version here.

We will be doing other pieces in class during the week of 12/1 through 12/4, although you may have some time at the ends of periods to work on it. I would advise getting a jump start on this assignment over break if you can, however!

1. The link provided will take you to the aphorisms we will be discussing in class virtually on 12/1. Everyone will be asked to participate in the discussion as part of their grade for the assignment! (5 points of the 20 are allotted to your participation!)
2. After the discussion, complete the attached assignment and submit no later than Thurs. 12/3 at 11:59 PM.

We will be having brief discussions on other pieces during class Wed. and Thurs. of this week, and then you will have parts of the periods following to work on this assignment and your Sleepy Hollow assignment due Friday at 11:59 PM.
