English 9 and 10 weekend homework

English 9
Read the excerpt from Maya Angelou's "I know why the caged bird sings" in textbook.
on page 247, following the story, choose question 5,6,7, or 8 to answer. Write a paragraph of no fewer than 8-10 sentences answering the question. (If you end up with a paragraph that's too short, just add more specific examples fom the story to explain and support your point.)  Make sure to support your paragraph with at least 5 quotes from the story!

The main objective is to :
demonstrate correct use of authorial attributions: choose them logically, make sure they sound good and flow, and alternate between different types of attributions.  (Never use the same type in two sentences in a row)

Write in clear, grammatically correct sentences:  every sentence needs to be a complete sentence, regardless of whether it has a quote in it or not!

English 10 reminder (see your classroom notes):
15 DE's on "The beginning,"  ("Genesis 1-3" from King James Bible, excerpt  in textbook)
goal:  logical connections between 15 details of things YOU find most interesting and a possible significance of what each detail shows.  (many interpretations are possible; just make sure that your interpretations "go with" each specific detail you cite!
