The Awakening
Please read to page 109 (yes, that's the end of the novel) by this Friday. Next week, you will begin to write an alternate ending to the novel, which will be due the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Some of you may want to complete the assignment before the break so that you can relax.

Kate Chopin
This week's readings will focus on the works in Kate Chopin. We will begin with "The Story of an Hour" and The Awakening. As you read each selection, note the importance of setting as it pertains to character development.
Please give our student teacher, Ms. Rich, your utmost attention and respect this week. I have perused her lesson plans, and she has put forth quite a deal of effort. Ms. Rich's work is scholarly and creative, and she sheds light on feminist issues of the 1890s and the early 1900s.

The Awakening reading assignments: Read to page 24 by Monday and read pages 25 through 62 by Wednesday. Select 2 quotes that show Edna's dilemma or her awakening and write them in your notebook. Use proper MLA format.
