English 9A (periods 1, 2, and 4): Today we took a district assessment. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes tonight and bring that book with you to class tomorrow.
English 9B (period 3): Today we took a district assessment. However, your homework tonight is a continuation of last night's: Go home and write a page to night, and let that page come out of you, then it will be true. In other words, your task is to write your own "Theme for English B." It is a poem that reveals something about yourself. You should model your poem upon Hughes's - your first two stanzas should be similar to his, and your third stanza should contain a sense of movement as his does. Your fourth (or more) stanzas should teach the reader many different things about you, your personality, and the things you like. Your poem is due on Friday and should be typed and follow standard format: Single space within your stanzas, use a hard left margin (do not center your poem), and use standard capitalization, spelling, and punctuation.
Additionally, read for 20 minutes tonight and bring your book with you to class tomorrow.
