Homework for the 1st and 2nd of March

It certainly feels as though spring has sprung.  What a beautiful day!  I hope that you all get a chance to go outside and enjoy this weather.

AP English III:

Next week is going to be a bit strange due to the fact that Tuesday will be ACT day.  Your reading - to be to the end of chapter fifteen - is going to be due on Wednesday and Thursday of next week.  Monday - for A day students - is going to be more of an enrichment day than anything else.  As you finish your reading assignment, you will need to make sure that your motif chart is as completed as you can make it.  This will count as a major homework grade - so be sure that it reflects your best work.  You can feel free to combine some chapers - but I would prefer that you use one row for each chapter.  This will require that you do chapters fourteen and fifteen on a separate sheet of paper.  I'll give you another motif chart next week so that you can finish the book and keep your ideas logged. 

That's all you need to do this weekend.  I'll give you back your outlines, tests, and anything else next Wednesday and Thursday.  Then we'll move to the next phase of our papers - the actual drafting and confrences!  Feel free to start early.

English I:

For the weekend I would like for you all to do a bit of writing for me.  You are a lawyer and you are pressing charges on one of the characters in Romeo and Juliet for the murders that have occured in III.1.  You can choose to blame someone in this scene, or you may choose to be a bit more abstract - blaming someone that wasn't even in the scene.  Regardless of whom you blame, be sure that you present a clear case using at least three to four specific examples from the play to support your case.  You need to focus on only one character; your legal brief should be no longer than one page.

This is due to the homework box Monday/Tuesday.
