Sorry for not getting this up earlier for all of you. I had people with me after school and then I had to run immediately to my optometrist appointment. So, here's your homework for tonight.
AP English III:
The biggest priority for all of you is to really get drafting on those papers. You've got a workshop for your drafts on Friday (A-day) and Monday (B-day). I want you to have as much of your paper together as possible for this draft workshop. You should have at least your introduction and first body paragraph or two put together. I'll be available after school next week and Friday of this week for you to get some one-on-one help if needed. I would recommend that as many of you as possible come to see me to get some extra feedback.
I want to remind you all of something really key to this paper. This is an argument. You are creating your argument about whatever topic you see; then you use the literature to support your argument. Most of you are really strong at writing arguments. I think that some of you are losing that angle of this paper - keep that in mind and keep your argument at the forefront of your essay. Then you'll do really well.
Lastly, for Friday/Monday, be to the end of chapter twenty-three in Catcher. Your next reading check will be to finish the novel - some of you may want to just go ahead and finish it.
English I:
Alright - a few things for you all to get accomplished before our next class. Your first priority it to also finish your drafts of your definition essays. It seems from talking to a lot of you today that many of you have finished or nearly finished your essays. Very good work. On Friday/Monday we will also have a draft workshop and then we'll have chances after school next week for you all to come see me to get some extra help.
One reminder for all of you is to make sure that you always connect your examples clearly to your topic. From the drafts I've seen so far, a lot of you are leaving me to see the connection to your examples and the idea of leadership, for example.
The homework assignment that you have to complete builds on the idea of propaganda that we discussed today in class. Follow the instructions on your worksheet to the letter. When you turn in your poster, you will also need to turn in your worksheet on the slogans. Honors students, remember that you have an additional requirement to explain your symbolism. This poster assignment is due on Tuesday/Wednesday for all of you.
Finally, I gave you all your vocabulary list to prepare you for your quarter two vocabulary exam. Use that list to study and prepare for your vocabulary exam. You will have that exam next week - get ready over the weekend.
