AP English III:
After today's class you should be feeling much more comfortable with the idea of an analysis. What you're supposed to do when you analyze, the type of thesis to write, and how we've basically been doing analyzing so far in annotating. Now is when you start putting all of that to use.
For our next class, I expect that you will be to the end of chapter thirty-three in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. We're about to move into one of my least favorite portions of the novel, I've started coming to terms with the end, but I'm not there yet. Maybe you all can help to get me there. Also, you need to complete you vocabulary slides - in the last post is where you can access your class's document. Make sure that if you word is coming from something that we've read that you provide the context for the word. This is something that some of you that have started have left off or dealt with imperfectly.
In terms of writing/product for next class, I want you to complete the 1Q1P assignment using a portion of Huck Finn. Remember one quote (no more than fifty words with chapter/paragraph reference) and one page (i.e. the rest of the page) to present the analysis of that quote. These should be typed, double spaced, in a standard font. For this assignment, forego MLA citation style, no header is necessary.
I'll be available Wednesday/Thursday after school if you need help with your analysis or to present a draft.
English I:
Today we briefly reviewed the story by Ray Bradbury "The Golden Kite, the Silver Wind" and discussed the various symbols in the story. It's important to also consider the historical allegory of the story and relate all of this back to the story's theme. I think that now that you have read the story and we've discussed it, it may be a good idea to reread the story so that you fully comprehend. You may actually find things you missed the first time (more symbols, different language, imagery, and so forth). Regardless if you read the story again or not, you should find a few words from this story and get them onto your vocabulary bookmark - remember look for words that are challenging for you to define. Maybe they're words you're seeing for the first time.
Your other homework for tonight would be to work on your research projects. Remember that any information you find needs to be cited properly with MLA citations. Get all of the information that you can on your source and organize it properly. For tonight, you should make it a goal to complete one information slide related to your topic as well as one image slide related to your topic. You may choose to put imagery and information on the same slide, but you should then do two slides.
We will present the first part of the projects next week. Thursday and Friday are our last days in the library. Work hard.
