Short Story: "The Sniper"

Background:

This story is set in Dublin, Ireland, in the 1920s, during a time of bitter civil war. On one side were the Republicans. On the other side were the Free Staters.

Like all civil wars, this one tore families apart. It pitted children against parents, sister against sister, brother against brother.

As the story opens, the writer immediately puts you into the war—high on a Dublin rooftop.

Late Assignments:

Classroom lectures are often presented on EdPuzzle. Late EdPuzzle assignments can be made up during the Extra Help / Assignment Makeup sessions in room 252 from 2:34-2:49 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. If you cannot attend one of the makeup sessions, see Mr. Flamm for a Missing EdPuzzle Assignment Form, or download and print your own form, HERE. Fill out this form and return it to Mr. Flamm for evaluation.

You may also easily complete the Podcast Questions of the Week during the above times. Homework is worth 10% of your final grade, so if you do not do any homework, it is equivalent to dropping your final grade down by one entire letter grade (10% deduction).

Assignments are due at 11:59 pm on due date. Unexcused lateness of assignments will be penalized at 10 percent per day late (for example, an assignment that is two days late will have a maximum grade of 80, or B-). After 9 days the assignment is worth zero points. Learners are welcome to submit assignments more than 9 days late as Merit Assignments, but not for class credit.
