Welcome to the second nine weeks everyone! I find that this quarter of the year goes by really quickly what with Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break in the middle. So, this means that we'll get a lot done this quarter, but you'll need to make sure you're staying on top of everything.
AP English III:
You need to be sure to read and annotate thoroughly the piece from The Narrative of the Life of Oluadah Equiano. This piece provides some excellent insight on some of the true horrors of slavery from the perspective of a slave, one Oluadah Equiano. As you read, you may want to think about his audience and how he crafts his message to be perceived by his audience. Also, be sure that you're keeping up with the reading of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. You should always try to be ahead of the reading schedule -- and always annotate!
Further, you will want to start culling vocabulary for your second vocabulary bookmarks; we're actually going to go a bit further with vocabulary this nine weeks, so be on the lookout for that. Finally, get yourselves a GMAIL account if you don't already have one. This will make a project that we'll be starting later this week a lot easier to complete.
English I:
Next class you will all be preseting your group projects, so your biggest thing to work on for tonight is getting that project finished. Be sure that you've done your part and that you've communicated well with your group mates. Remember that one copy of your group's script will need to be turned in to the box for your group to get full credit. If you have anything that needs to be projected onto the SmartBoard, please bring that on a flashdrive or be sure to e-mail it to me in advance.
If you've not started studying for your short stories test, I would recommend doing that. Any time left in class on Wednesday/Thursday will be spent reviewing for the short stories test which will be on Friday/Monday.
