Thank you Freshmen and Juniors for getting this week off to a great start. Here are your tasks to complete before our next class on Wednesday/Thursday.
AP English III:
You are now embarking on one of the most amazing journeys that we will have this year as we attempt to answer #whoistheinvisibleman. Remember what I said in class today about reading a difficult book such as this - the shore is all the way at the end, to make it - you just have to keep reading. Don't try to understand everything, don't fight the current, just stay with it and keep digesting. This is the type of book where you won't understand a lot of stuff; mark those passages and bring them to class so that we can work through those questions. Remember that you're not the only one having trouble; I've probably marked a lot of those passages myself with questions.
Begin on your reading schedules tonight completing chapter one - pay special attention to the Battle Royal scene as we'll be focusing in on that heavily on Wednesday/Thursday. Also don't forget as you read to fill in your motif chart and annotate heavily. Continue to think about a lot of the issues we raised in our introductory week last week.
Also, don't forget that your research topics and questions are due next week. You may want to start developing that and asking for help before the due date!
English I:
Tonight you need to take your notes as you finish reading Act I of Romeo and Juliet. Remember that Act I, Scene 5 is divided into two parts. When I check your notes I'll be looking for one set of notes on part one (up to line 92) and one set of notes for part two (line 93 to the end). You will want to make sure that your Romeo and Juliet notes are well organized as I will be checking notebooks soon.
Also, next class we will have a warm-up check. It may be a good idea to review your grammar journals as well as your reading very carefully for any potential reading questions.
I think that'll do it. Enjoy the reading!
