I hope that all of you enjoy your Friday off this week. Please think of me while I'm here leading some staff development and working hard! Here are your reminders and announcements.
AP English IV
Your biggest task for the weekend is to spend your time preparing for your exam. I think that one of the best ways to prepare is to practice annotating and pulling out meaning quickly since you will have two timed writings ahead of you. Use what we did today in class but then also use your Perrine book to get more opportunities for analysis. You will have a prose analysis and a poetry analysis. So spend time looking at both.
Also, use your Perrine books to look at examples of explications. From pages forty to forty-nine you have several different examples of prose and poetry explications which you can use to look at proper structure and analysis techniques.
AP English III
This weekend your biggest priority is your term papers. Next class we will be spending approximately half the class workshopping drafts and preparing to move on to our final drafts. Please make sure that you are constantly reviewing and revising your argument to make it as strong as you can. I will be sharing the rubric which I will use on this assignment with you next class, which will help you create your final product.
Finally, your synthesis related to the primary source documents from the Salem Witch Trials will be due on the 21st and 22nd. You will turn in your argumentative editorial as well as your complete answers to the questions. This is a change of date from earlier!
English IV
Now that you know about your notecard structure for researching I would like for you to continue researching over the weekend. We will be spending more time in the library next week to continue this process, but the more time you spend working on this at home, the better you'll be. Remember that you will be having several checkpoints on this project. Keep up and ask questions to make up the work if needed.
