Here are your announcements and reminders for the weekend. Pay attention to the notes below, especially Juniors and Seniors as you will be getting some important notes for completing your assignments.
Freshman Focus
No homework for you all to complete this weekend. We'll be talking about college searches and researching colleges next week - so you might want to think about the type of school you'd be interested in over the weekend. I hope that you all will enjoy your weekend without homework and get some good reading and relaxing done.
AP English III
Over the weekend you've got a few things to take care of related to your study of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. You need to make progress on your next reading goal which is to be to the end of chapter twenty-eight by the 10th/11th. We will likely not be discussing these chapters until the following class as we're about a day behind on our discussions. Next class we'll be looking at the Grangerford section and the characters of the Duke and the Dauphin. You may find it helpful to review that section.
Related to your project, there are several things to take care of this weekend. First, you need to finish your group contract. I'll be collecting these on Monday/Tuesday and giving you a completion grade for having all of the areas of the contract done. Also on Monday/Tuesday you'll be getting a grade for having your site set up and shared. You need to share it with each member of your group and with me. This will be the second half of your completion grade.
The mockup for the site is available at https://sites.google.com/site/huckfinnsatiremockup/ -- Please use this mock-up to see what you need to include on each page and what you will need to do on each part of the assignment. This is like your instructions for the project, if you have any questions about this project, do not hesitate to ask.
English IV
Over the weekend I would like for you to complete the introduction of your essay. You already have a third of your introduction done if you have your thesis statement done. Your thesis statement will come last. Before that you will create a hook, and then a link. The hook should be a sentence or two related to your topic which will grab my attention as a reader. You could use a quote, you could create an image, or you could ask a thought provoking (not yes/no) question. In the link you then want to introduce the title and author of the text and explain how the topic is connected to the book. This then leads to the thesis.
I will be checking these on Monday/Tuesday and we will edit them, please make sure that you're meeting your deadlines on your essay.
