Lovely AP Students,
I continue to be impressed with the conversations that we're having in class. I do want to ask more of you to speak up in class - remember that participation is important. As we move to the second nine weeks and further, it's not enough to simply look interested. You need to be engaged and produce ideas for our discussions.
Over the weekend you have a few things to make sure you take care of. First, you do have the long weekend, your goal should be to get caught up or even ahead in your reading of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. As you read, keep annotating and keep looking for how Twain is developing the symbols which we began to uncover today. Furthermore, you should do some work on your websites - get your individual pages up and then start to work on your portion of the assignment.
Over the weekend you do have a piece of non-fiction to also read. It's "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" (link available here) by Gloria Anzaldua. This can be considered to be our final piece on the idea of language and identity. It may be useful for you all to consider how everything we've read is connected to this idea. Where do you fall on the idea of how we speak telling about who we are?
Finally, I've created the powerpoints for your vocabulary slides. Please use the links below and add your cards. These assignments are due next Thursday (17th) and Friday (18th). Remember that it's first come first serve, if you wait until the last minute, someone may have taken your words.

As always AP kids, be sure to ask for help if you're feeling overwhelmed or if you think that things are moving too fast. This is a class where we do a lot and learn a lot, be responsible for yourselves and keep pushing forward.
Have a lovely long weekend.
