On Wednesday, we read Chapter 11 and worked on the letter writing assignment.  The letter writing assignment is a letter to Governor Bellingham discussing Hester's punishment.  The letter must be 5 paragraphs.

Friday we read Chapter 6 and finished the vocab and the questions.  There was also a Folder collection.  On Monday, we took a quiz over chapters 1-6 and then skipped ahead to chapter 9 and read that as a class.

Today we need to read chapter four and five.  After you finish chapter four, finish your questions and vocabulary for chapters 1-4.  When you are done with that, move on to reading chapter 5.

At this point, you should have finished reading Chapter 2 and the vocabulary and questions for 1 and 2.  You should also have completed your first blog post for the Scarlet Letter.  After the warm up today, we will read chapter 3.  Make sure that you have notes for each chapter!

Blog Post #1 for Scarlet Letter

In the Puritan world, men were considered to be the head of the household.  The men made all the decisions and the women were to be obedient to them.  Men were also suppose to be the spiritual head of the household making all decisions about worship and Godly matters.  Today's society has changed greatly since the time of the Puritans but has it really?  Think about the world you live in.  Is your family more Puritan like or more modern?  Describe the head our your household and who makes the decisions.  Give some examples of times when your dad or mom has had to make a decision for the whole family.
Also, what rules from the Puritan world are you glad you don't have to follow today?  Are there any rules that you wish we still followed?  Lastly, has all the change from the days of the Puritans been a good thing or a bad thing and why?

Thursday

For today's assignment, finish reading Chapter two and complete the vocabulary and study questions for Chapter 1 and 2.  If you finish with this, begin reading chapter 3.
