A little bit of Russian for all of ya. Now, let's move on to the business.
Freshman Focus
If you didn't finish your brainstorming about the three most important moments in your life and what you learned from that moment - you will need to finish that tonight for homework. Remember, the hardest thing is getting started when it comes to writing -- overtake that blank page. That way when we meet in the Media Center on Friday/Monday you'll begin to immediately write.
AP English III
Study. And then after that, study some more. Then, keep studying :) Here's an abbreviated list for where you should focus your energy as you prepare.
- tone words - study your chart, know positives and negatives, learn definitions for new words, prepare yourselves for multiple choice questions regarding tone.
- the rhetorical appeals - know the difference between these
- your writing notes - you'll have four short answers and I'll be looking to see improvement and an embrace of AP writing with complete arguments and explanations.
- you'll be asked specific questions about King, Eighner, White, Thoreau, and Emerson
- visual rhetoric
I'm looking forward to seeing what you all produce.
English IV
You all also need to study. You'll have your first test on Book One of 1984 on Friday/Monday. You should be prepared on the following ideas specifically:
- your vocabulary - you will have fill in the blanks questions regarding vocabulary words
- the characters we've met in Book One, their importance to the story, and their connection to Winston
- there will also be multiple choice questions regarding literary devices, overall ideas, and other topics related to the text.
- I would be sure to reread chapter eight, some multiple choice questions will be focused directly from here.
