Apologies. Again.

For yet another entry I forget to make the post during my planning period, and just now am I doing it, after dinner. Here are your reminders.

Freshman Focus

You should begin to brainstorm your ideas for the This I Believe essays. Today I gave you the assignment sheet which goes over some ideas. Tomorrow in class we'll spend some time developing these ideas and planning.

AP English III

You all have your first big test coming up soon! Your Transcendentalism unit test. Tonight you should begin to study and prepare for the test on Friday. Remember that I will not give you a study guide or prepared review sheet. It is your responsibility to generate questions to ask during class on Wednesday/Thursday.

We'll begin our next novel soon, The Great Gatsby. We won't start reading until next week. Try to get yourselves a copy before next week. I'll have copies to check out the day of the test for you if you don't plan to get your own.

Lastly, today was really the last day of bootcamp you may want to begin revising. The window for revisions is only open for the next few weeks.

English IV

At the end of the week you all will be having your first test on book one of 1984. You should begin studying now. Know your vocabulary words very well as there will be part of your test asking you to apply these words. The test will be open book, but you still need to be ready. One part of the test will be closed book.

You should also do work on your propaganda assignment. We will work on these more next class after we watch the first part of the film version of 1984.
