Wowzers - feels like this week is just flying by. I've been having a really good time with all of you this week. I hope that all of you have been enjoying class. Here are your reminders and pointers for the weekend.
AP English III:
This weekend I'd like for you to read a bit of a lengthy piece by James Baldwin called "Notes of a Native Son." It can be found in 50 Essays or at this link. This essay is highly similar to what we will see in Invisible Man, so I think that it's a good piece for you all to take a look at before we begin studying Ellison. I want you to continue to really look for the connections between this piece and the Hurston piece that we discussed today as well as any connections to the blues and jazz music that we've been listening to. We'll discuss this piece on Monday/Tuesday as we begin reading Ellison.
Final note: Please make sure that you have your copy of the book Monday/Tuesday. We start reading then.
English I:
Well, now you've met Romeo. Just wait until you meet Juliet. For tonight I want you to continue reading and thinking about the play. Remember that the goal is that as we continue to study and read in class you should find yourself understanding more and more of the play. Tonight, read Act 1, Scenes 3 and 4 from the textbook. With each scene, you will want to take your Who, What, Where, When notes. Remember that you do not need to go into detail about the language, but focus solely on the plot. What are the plot events in these scenes?
Be sure that your notebook is well organized as I will be checking notebooks next week. Be ready! Also, I'll be getting titles from you next class for your projects. Be sure that you've made a decision about which play you want to study.
