Since we can not have reading quizzes in class, you are required to fill out these study guides and email me them by 6pm each day that they are due. I will grade them and enter them as quiz grades. I will post answer keys each day on the website – Serrano.wikispaces.com . As a result, I will not take late assignments. Also, please note, as a result the honor code on this assignment has changed; you may not google or discuss answers with anyone except for with me. If you need assistance, you may call me (339-223-3858), email me, or instant message me (facebook or aim: nicoleserr, gchat: ). You are on your honor as gentlemen to follow these revised rules.

If you are feeling ill or are unable to predict being unable to complete these assignments, please let me know asap.

In addition to filling out these study guides, I strongly recommend keeping a running character list and writing a chapter summary as you go. I have provided an area for you to do that. As we discuss the book, I also recommend keeping track of key quotations.

Please do not lose this or let up on all of these strong suggestions; this is paramount for a high grade this quarter given that we will be reading this in a serial manner for the rest of the quarter.
