For Friday...
The so-called English Whodunit Unit Exam will cover The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Hound of the Baskervilles, W.H. Auden's "The Guilty Vicarage," Ronald Knox's "Ten Commandments..." and the other whodunit material we've covered in the past two weeks.

I highly advise you to consult the following document:

I will collect the LRJs on Friday in order to grade them during the exam. You have three due: Curious Incident #1 and Hound of the Baskervilles #1 and #2.

Again, the IRP materials are all due on Thursday, December 20. A2 students may also turn those in on December 18 during the exam time, if desired.

After watching Agatha Christie's Poirot: "The Case of the Missing Will," you will be filling out a worksheet based on W.H. Auden's evaluation criteria for the whodunit. Dropbox by beginning of class on Tuesday.

You will also have a quiz over the first seven chapters of The Hound of the Baskervilles on Tuesday.
