It's time for us to say goodbye to February and hello to March. I'm definitely starting to feel Spring in the air, and can't wait for its full arrival. Here are your notes for tonight.
AP English IV
For our next class be sure that you get through with your reading of Act II of Twelfth Night. We'll spend a few classes looking at some scenes from this section of the play - we've also got to take a look at the film too. Also, please start on your vocabulary assignment. Remember that your cards are due on Thursday the 7th of March.
AP English III
Now that we've started Invisible Man it's time for you to keep it going. Tonight you're going to read Chapter 1. Keep annotating, keep thinking, and keep generating questions. Remember that the important thing is not to give up and quit while you read. Use your motif chart after every chapter to collect your observations about the chapters. I will check these sporadically to keep you honest.
In addition to reading Chapter 1, I also want you to read Zora Neale Hurston's "How It Feels to be Colored Me" from 50 Essays. Here is a link to the Hurston piece. As you read Hurston, be sure to notice any connections between the two texts. There are a lot!
English IV
Since we didn't get a chance to finish the Act II work, let's table that for next class. Now that you have your rubric for your final presentations, continue working on those. Form your visual, complete your research, and begin to plan. We aren't going to have many other days in the media center for research, I hope you've not wasted your time.
