Homework for Tuesday/Wednesday - 2/19 and 2/20

So, we're settling down into a nice long stretch of school before Spring Break.  Make sure that you realize that at this point in the year you're running a marathon, not a sprint.  Think about all of the things that you have left to accomplish and don't allow yourself to burn out too quickly.  Here are your notes to prepare you for your next class.

AP English IV

You've survived your first test.  This was definitely more of a skills based examination than a content based test - I look forward to grading these and getting them back to you by the start of next week.  If you were absent please see me ASAP to schedule a time to make up the test.  For tonight, you don't have any homework - you worked hard enough in class.  Just be sure that you come to class with a copy of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night as we will begin our study of this play!

AP English III

There's a lot for you all to accomplish tonight, please let me know if you have any questions about any of the following:
  1. Your first priority is to finish your Crucible synthesis assignment as well as your questions tied to the document packet.  Remember that the questions must be answered in complete sentences using specific details from the documents.  You will submit both assignments to me at the beginning of class on Thursday/Friday.
  2. You have a final assessment coming up on The Crucible.  Please be reviewing the text and preparing yourself for this.
  3. Your final drafts of your term papers are due on the 27th and 28th.  Use the rubric to prepare yourself and tweak your draft to make it sing.  Feel free to ask for additional help if you need it, but remember that I will not answer questions about this assignment starting on the 26th.
  4. If you haven't already done so - get a copy of Invisible Man.  You're going to want to get this book as it's probably one of the best books we'll read all year.
English IV

Continue working on your research projects and pulling together information.  If you didn't get your cards checked today make sure that you have them ready for Thursday/Friday.
