Upcoming Assignments

1. Sophys: The Othello paper is due Friday night by 11:59 p.m. on www.turnitin.com. If you have trouble uploading it, you may e-mail it to jennifer.hilley@ocps.net or hilleyj@gmail.com by the same deadline and I will post it for you. The assignment: Defend Iago. How can you use evidence from the text to justify or at least explain Iago's nefarious actions? Remember: The Writing Center is still open during FCAT days for help.

2. APees: The Jane Eyre paper requires TWO outside sources, one of which I am giving you this week (should you decide to use it.) The three topics are:

• Selecting any motif, symbol, or theme from the novel, and analyzing how it complements the work as a whole.
• Genre analysis: How Jane's development is revealed through the novel's use of its own categories. (Bildungsroman, journey literature, Gothic romance. . .)
• Fay Weldon quote from the 1996 AP exam, focusing on moral reconciliation and spiritual reassessment and a new form of happy ending.
