We're about to begin our final week of the first nine weeks! Pay attention to the details below and finish strong!
Freshman Focus
Tonight for homework I'd like for you finish reading the New York Times article about paying students for their success in school. On Tuesday/Wednesday we will participate in a small debate which will attempt to answer the following question:
Is this method a useful and effective one for dealing with the issue of laziness in American students?
Remember that we will begin our day in the computer lab across the hall working on more research for our career projects.
AP English III
Over the weekend you have a few things to prepare. Let's go through those in the order of their importance:
1. Your revised summer essays are due on Tuesday/Wednesday. In order to receive credit you must submit the original essay with your rubric. I have to see your improvements in order to score your work again.
2. Your vocabulary bookmarks will be checked. You need to have twenty entries - all with page numbers and personal definitions.
3. You need to read chapter six of The Great Gatsby - remember to focus on the idea of the past and time as you read. Use that as a lens to help you interpret the chapter.
I'll be here very late on Monday - feel free to make an appointment with me if you need additional assistance before the due date. I will not be available for help over e-mail this weekend or on Tuesday.
English IV
Before next class I would like for you to read chapters four and five of 1984. While you read, I would suggest taking notes due to the fact that you will have a reading quiz on these chapters when we see each other next class. The quiz will likely be one of your final grades of the nine weeks.
All classes - You will be getting progress reports on Tuesday/Wednesday which will be updated to that date. This provides you a chance to see where you stand before the quarter ends.
