Students - Below you will find your reminders and announcements for class. Remember to stay prepared and stay diligent in your work. You have a break coming up soon, but it's not here yet!
AP English III:
I am so excited to be studying The Catcher in the Rye with all of you. For tonight, be sure that you've read and annotated until the end of chapter five in the novel. This book moves very quickly, if you would like to read ahead, please do so. I would also suggest that those of you thinking that you would like to write your term paper on Catcher do try to get ahead since you'll need to start digesting this book much faster than others.
On the topic of those papers - please be sure that you have shared that document with my gmail account that all of you are using. Those of you who have shared to my dpsnc.net account - please also add my gmail address. I want to see you starting to brainstorm more and get your ideas down on paper. In a few days we'll talk about how to attack and outline this sort of paper. I'm looking forward to seeing what all of you come up with for your first term papers.
Lastly, expect your states quiz this week. Don't say I didn't warn you :)
English I:
It's time for us to embark on our first essay assignment! Today we went over a lot of the basics of structuring a five-paragraph essay. For tonight, you need to complete your introduction paragraph. Please use your notes to complete the introduction, paying special attention to the order of the sentences and what a successful introduction has. You need to make sure that you bring these paragraphs to class with you on Wednesday/Thursday - so that we can peer edit.
Lastly, make sure that you've read chapter eight of Animal Farm - keep up with your vocabulary bookmarks as I'll be collecting them on Friday/Monday. Minimum of fifteen words for this round of checkins.
