Sorry that I'm late in posting this. It just slipped my mind as I was leaving.
AP English III:
I've finally finished those summer assignments. And now I know where we all are as to writing and looking at literature. I think that a lot of you have really improved the way that you're looking at literature from our first few weeks together - but we haven't spent any time working on writing. As I said today in class, we start bootcamp soon. We're going to spend time every day of class looking at a particular element of writing and then working on that element.
Your homework for tonight is to finish your first vocabulary bookmarks and to continue living as a Transcendentalist. Please make sure that you follow the instructions on the bookmarks. Also, I suggested that you all get going on reading Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" - this will be assigned next class, but it's pretty weighty, so you may want to take a bit of extra time on it.
Lastly, we're going to start reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn very soon. I would recommend that you secure yourself a copy in the next few days and start reading.
English I:
In a strange turn of events you all don't have any homework tonight. Though, you do have another major writing assignment coming soon related to "The Most Dangerous Game" - I would have given it to you today, but we didn't have a chance to discuss the assignment. To prepare for this assignment you could review the story and pay particular attention to the characters of Rainsford and Zaroff - these may be focal points of your assignment coming up. Also, you will have a grammar test before the end of this quarter - studying your grammar packets would be a good idea.
Lastly, we will be studying our novel for this year - Animal Farm - next month. You may want to get yourselves a copy of this book.
