English 10 & 10C
Length of Course: 40 Weeks Prerequisite: Successful completion of English 9 Credits: 1 Description: This course is the second in a three-year program to prepare students to complete New York State's Comprehensive Examination in English successfully. Students will study, practice, and develop fundamental writing skills, including basic methods of library research. This course emphasizes sentence structure as well as standard American conventions of grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Students will be introduced to representational works of the major genres and methods for reading and responding critically. The goals of the 10C course are identical to those of other 10th Grade classes. The pace of this course is adjusted to meet the needs of students requiring additional reinforcement of basic skills. Major readings may include Oedipus Rex, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Gentlehands. |
A Midsummer night's Dream Act II Test Questions
1. How would you solve the problems of both Helena and Demetrius? Write a short memo to one of them explaining what they should do. 2. Demetrius tells Helena flatly that he does not love her and wants her to stop following him. Some people might say this is cruel of him, while others think his directness is actually a form of kindness. What do you think? 3. Lysander wants to lie down near Hermia, but she says it wouldn’t be proper. As we saw earlier, she does not always follow the laws laid down by her society. Why does she suddenly choose to follow some laws, but not others? 4. Lysander explains to Helena that he is not being illogical in choosing her over Hermia: “Reason says you are the worthier maid.” In other words, he is saying that Helena is the logical choice. We know, however, that Lysander’s mind has been changed not by reason, but by magic. If you were Lysander, how would you explain to Hermia that you are no longer in love with her? |
