English I:
For homework over the weekend you have a few things to do. First, you should read chapter ten of A Separate Peace. As you read chapter ten, continue to pay attention to Gene and how he is changing in this chapter, again. Pay particular attention to his treatment of Leper. Also, you should complete the grammar worksheet on Pronoun/Antecedent Agreement. Remember that if the antecedent (thing that comes before) is singular, then the pronoun will also have to be singular. If the antecedent is plural, then the pronoun needs to be plural. It's all about matching. Lastly, you should be working on your final projects for A Separate Peace. Come and see me next week after school if you need any extra assistance.
Lastly, on February 2 (A day) and February 3 (B day) you will have an exam on chapters six through ten of A Separate Peace. You would do well to begin reviewing these chapters over the weekend. On Monday/Tuesday we will review chapter ten and then prepare for the exam.
English III:
I want to begin by saying that I was very impressed with the amount of engagement that I saw in our class discussion today. If we can work as hard as we did today every day, then we are going to have an amazing year. For tomorrow you have two things to do. First, you need to complete the final drafts of your "What is America?" essays. Please submit to me the final draft and the rough draft. Second, I want you to do an activity tonight called 1Q1P, to do this, you will need to select one sentence that you think is the most important sentence in the whole story. That is the 1Q (quote). After you have selected your sentence, you need to write your 1P (paragraph). As you write the paragraph you will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt why your selection is the best choice for the whole story.
Tomorrow, we will finish up with Oates by playing with the numbers a bit more and then we will move on to our next key piece. A piece of poetry...
Enjoy the evening, let me know if you've got any questions.
