Your homework (hooray?):
1. DUE TOMORROW: Use the internet to gain a brief understanding of Tantalus (the punished man) and Sisyphus (the king). Then, read the wikipedia biography of ONE of the following poets: Countee Cullen, Claude McKay, or Langston Hughes. Take a few notes on the poet you choose (you'll need them for class tomorrow). This assignment should take you about 30 minutes; don't go overboard.
2. Literary Terms Assignment. Remember: your 3-D project is due on Friday, February 1st. Your lit terms test will be Thursday February 7th.
3. Read the IB learner profile. Next to each characteristic, place a number ranking the degree to which you display that characteristic (the one you feel you display most should be ranked "1").
