Homework for All Classes - 3/13 and 3/14

No time for pleasantries here - let's just get straight to the business.

AP English III:

Tonight for homework your priority is to complete your reading and study of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" - this can be found in 50 Essays or at the following link.  I would reccommend that all of you take a look at that link because it has a good illustration of "the cave" where Plato sets up his philisophical discourse.  I'm also putting in a film which I think may help you all to understand some of the intricacies of the story.


Please read this thoroughly as it does highly connect to Invisible Man.  After you've finished reading the piece by Plato - please respond to the prompt in the discussion board located above this post.  Make sure that your post is completed by the time you walk into class on Thursday/Friday.  I will grade them after class on Thursday/Friday.

In terms of other things to get done, you need to be to the end of chapter twenty-two of Invisible Man by next Monday and Tuesday.  We're quickly moving to the end of the novel and I'm excited to take you all through what happens to our friend.  Also, we are starting paper conferences.  Follow the schedule and be drafting.

English I:

For tonight you all should finish your studying for your Act II and III Examination.  This test will have multiple choice, quotations, and short answer questions.  Be sure that you are very ready.  Remember that this counts as a test grade and will highly affect your grade either positively or negatively related to your score.  We also have presentations and the end of our drama projects coming up.  Be sure that you're ready to present and that you have all of the final elements of your project ready.  Lastly, we will present Act III.5 projects next class (Thursday/Friday) -- be sure that every member of your group is ready to do their part!
