Important information for Honors History English:

• Go to Mr. Curry's website and watch the Youtube channel for information on how to "Analyze your documents"
• Read "Chevrefoil" by Marie de France at this link:

http://chevrefoilonline.tripod.com/id1.html

•   Create storyboard of at least six panels that represents the plot structure within "Chevrefoil." Make sure that you follow through with the accurate resolution as students often misinterpret the ending of the story. Your storyboard can be stick figures, as long as you include quality stick figures with details specific to the story. The storyboard can be in any genre also . . .
•  Also due Monday is your "Weapon" worksheet for your "Song of Deeds." Many of you got started on that already, yah!

Happy Halloween!
