HW: Due tomorrow.  Based on your Dante Quiz that identified your location in his Sci-Fi world (per his rules), write up 1) do you agree with where you were placed and 2) why you agree/disagree.  3) If you disagreed, where do you think you DO belong, per Dante's rules, not your personal preference.

- Select a SRC book you enjoyed here at SSHS.  Create an iMovie trailer to 1) show your understanding of the novel and 2) advertise the novel to an underclassman who is seeking good SRC books to read.  You will have today and Friday, in class, to work on this assignment.  See sample(s) below.

- Today we went over how to do the Annotated Bibliography (see SP tab for more info and links to OWL and LEO).

- Discussion on INFERNO, Canto 3, The Vestibule of Hell.  Focus on WHO is there and WHY.  Then on the symbolic appropriateness of the punishment (the CONTRAPASSO).

- HW:  Take the "Where in Hell Are You" quiz.  Please note that his is according to Dante's rules as he sets up his Sci-Fi world of Inferno and is not religious doctrine, nor intended to be taken as such.  Note where Dante would place you.  For Tuesday night, you'll write up whether you agree/disagee with Dante's rules/placement and why.

HW: take a "Tour of Hell" for Cantos I-IV and play around in Dante Worlds.
