English: The poem that we read in class, The Book, is about an object from the speaker’s school that has meaning for him/ her.
For tonight, choose
an object that in some way represents Lawrence Academy for
you. If you’re a returning
student, it may be something you know well. If you are a
new student, it may be something new and strange – challenging or
promising. The object can be
very small or very large – something on your desk, a piece of clothing or
jewelry, a book or notebook, a part of the campus, even a
building.
· Write a paragraph
telling why the object has meaning for
you.
· Look at the object
carefully. Hold it in your hand
if you can. Look at it from many
angles.
· Make a list of
sensory, descriptive words and phrases about the object.
· Imagine that the
object can speak. What would it say to
you?
Spend about a half
hour doing this exercise. Don’t settle
for easy observations and ideas. Push yourself
to think and feel deeper.
No one will see this
except you and your teacher, who will simply check that you did the
homework.
History: Read Aristotle's Politics. Just read it. Do not attempt to answer the Interpretive Questions.
