Homework for the Weekend - 3/23 and 3/27

And thus ends another nine weeks.  I appreciate the fact that a lot of you stepped it up in the closing weeks to end strongly.  In our next nine weeks (the last one) it's important that you be consistently hard working throughout the quarter.  Here are your reminders for the weekend.  B-day students, this will be your work for Tuesday night, but it never hurts to be ahead.

AP English III:

Over the weekend you need to read the next chapter in Invisible Man - chapter twenty-four.  There's a huge riot in chapter twenty-four as well as another sexual scene with a white woman.  Continue to move forward with your motif charts and your annotations.  Remember that at this point in the novel you should begin to focus how Ellison is moving to the end of his novel and coming to give the readers messages about his various topics and motifs.

Also, you have research papers due next week.  I went over today what you will need to turn in with your envelopes.  A-day papers are due on Wednesday and B-day papers are due on Thursday.  Take the three day weekend and our conferences to improve your drafts.  Ask for help if you need it.

English I:

We've finished the play!  Enjoy the weekend and relax.  We'll be finishing the films next week and begin some of our final assessments on the play as well.  I would spend the weekend working on reviewing your writing skills - we'll be focusing on writing as we begin our transition to the end of the year and tenth grade.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
