Tuesday and Wednesday (2/28 and 2/29) Homework and Reminders

It's a leap year.  Those people Mr. Leathers announces tomorrow will be turning four, since they've technically only had four birthdays.  Anyway, the business is below.

AP English III:

After today's class you've gotten something big off of your plate - there is one more big thing for this week and then a rather large reading goal moving to next week.  The major thing remaining is your research outline.  I have started to see a lot of movement on these in a variety of ways, keep going.  Please use the rubric as you craft your outline.  Think to yourself, "Am I doing this part of the rubric?"  If the answer is yes, make sure it's done thoroughly.  If the answer is no, you have a major problem.  Outlines are due Thursday and Friday.  You have one remaining day to ask for help - tomorrow.

Looking forward to next week - you have a large reading goal.  Follow your reading schedules closely and get to the end of chapter fifteen.  The novel is going to start being a lot more cohesive here, which is something I'm sure a lot of you have been waiting for, grab on to this plot with the Invisible Man.  Continue to notice the cycles.  On your reading, you will have a deadline/honesty check on your motif charts.  You should be able to get chapter thirteen on your chart.  You'll then need to create one to log chapters fourteen and fifteen.  I'll give you new ones next week.  Remember to do this AS you read; it'll save time.

English I:


You have two things due next class:  a homework assignment and a project checkin.  Your homework is the "Board Games" assignment.  First you must block or diagram the movements of the characters in the key moments of III.1.  Follow the instructions on the sheet.  Give a key to your diagram and use arrows to show movement.  Make sure that each event is clearly marked in your diagram.

You will then answer the three questions listed at the bottom on the back of the worksheet.  As you answer the questions, really try to understand the character.  You'll want to comment on how he understands certain events as well as his emotions.  Be clear and concise in your answers.  Turn this assignment in to the box.

This is your first project checkin as well.  I've been happy that some of you have brought me drafts.  This assignment may also be submitted to the box, or you can bring it to class.  I understand that some of you may need to print during lunch in the library - be sure to get a pass in advance.

See you all tomorrow!
