Mrs. Hott’s English 12 Snow Packet—Days 6-10 Hey everyone! I hope this “Snow Packet” finds you guys well! It will definitely be a different style of learning for the next couple weeks—maybe longer. If you guys need to talk to me, please message me over Livegrades. I will respond as quickly as I can. We are working remotely at the moment, but I am available the same hours 10-2pm as I would be at school for the Snow Packet days. So, these second set of Snow Packets we are supposed to continue where we left off. We were ending our Macbeth unit and had tested on that, luckily, before we were closed. So, we will be starting a new unit. If for some reason, you cannot open something I send you, please let me know. We are going to be reading Frankenstein. We were going to read this book closer to Spring Break, but because it is easier to transmit these reading guides to you, we will do it this way. I am going to link an audiobook to Frankenstein that we would be using in class. Please feel free to listen and follow along or just listen with your headphones in. If you would like a physical copy, I have some available at school for pickup, just let me know ahead of time. -- Link to audiobook I would’ve used in class. Now, the way the “Snow Packet” Days are going to work is… We will be doing a “section a day” these will be sectioned off below. PLEASE SEND ME YOUR SECTIONS ALL TOGETHER AT THE END OF THE 5 DAY PERIOD. I do not want to lose track of day by day, and longer than 5 days if something were to extend our “online learning” period. LETTERS I-IV—Snow Packet Days 6 and 7 (Yes, you can take two days to READ AND COMPLETE the vocab, questions, and pre-reading) I want to give you guys plenty of time to get into the book and actually READ since you have plenty of extra time to do so.
