Freshman Focus
After today you should have notes on your first draft of your college essays. If you did not have your essay today in class remember to see me on a B-day at lunch so that you can get your credit made-up. For homework this weekend you will need to finish your answers on question four related to the film Akeelah and the Bee. Remember to answer in a complete paragraph using clear details from the film to support your ideas. I'll collect your notes and responses in class on Tuesday/Wednesday.
AP English III
Today we went over some important information related to your satire projects. I'm putting that document here so that you can refer back to it as you're working. The document also has the website address for the mock-up that you should be using to create your final site.
Over the weekend you should be putting in some work on your personal rhetorical analysis and some other work in your collaboration. On Tuesday/Wednesday you'll have your final timed writing for 2012 and we will discuss a lot of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - please make sure you're to the end of chapter twenty-eight. Also be aware that I will be checking your vocabulary bookmarks again. Have at least fifteen new words on your third bookmark.
English IV
Over the weekend you should all be working on your essays. Remember that rough drafts of the essays in their complete form will be peer edited the day we return from break. If you need any help, please e-mail me or speak to me so that you can get yourself on a good page. The assignment that you have due on Tuesday/Wednesday asks you to reflect on the author you read today in class. Your question to answer in a one page response is:
What would _________ say about the living conditions in 1984? Why?
Be sure that as you answer this question you draw on your knowledge from the speech as well as your knowledge of the novel. You should focus on your author that you read and studied.
