Minister's Black Veil vocabularyYou will have a short test on Thursday. It will cover:

  • Your memorized poem, which you will write out from memory
  • The first 12 chapters of The Scarlet Letter

Write four questions for your chapter. Write at least one of each of the following types of questions:

  • Short answer
  • Identify the speaker of the quote
  • T/F
NOTE: I know that most of you guys know about Sparknotes, but occasionally someone does not. Let's level the playing field. Sparknotes is particularly helpful for The Scarlet Letter because they have a "No Fear" version (paraphrased--kind of a modern translation, the "Kid in the hall at South Salem High School version")
Here's the standard Sparknotes summary and analysis of The Scarlet Letter: The Scarlet Letter
Here's the No Fear Literature paraphrased version: The Scarlet Letter

For FUN (what a concept. Honors and fun? Oxymoronic?)
