Homework for AP English III and English IV - 3/21 and 3/22

Here are the assignments pending for AP English III and English IV students.  As a reminder, be aware that I will not be in the building on Monday as I'll be preparing for Passover by completing the fast of the first born.  I hope that all of you enjoy your time with the substitute.  Here are the reminders and notes that you need to have in order to finish the quarter strongly.

AP English III

Over the weekend and moving into Wednesday/Thursday's class you have a lot of reading to accomplish as well as your first major checkpoint on your research papers.  I would say that your research outlines should be your bigger priority since those are due on Monday/Tuesday.  Remember that A-day students will need to e-mail me outlines, B-day students will submit hard copies of the outlines.  If any A-day students cannot e-mail the outline, I will accept a hard copy on Tuesday.  Please follow the guidelines on your rubric, remembering about the topics you need to discuss in order to prove your argument and the use of sources in the outline.  Everything needs to be cited with parenthetical references on your outline.  Don't lose points and don't skimp on the work - remember that by putting in more work now on the outline that your paper will be much easier to write.

Outside of that, related to Invisible Man, you have a major reading checkpoint to reach by Wednesday/Thursday which is to be to the end of chapter twelve.  You're going to see a lot of changes in the Invisible Man's character at this moment in the text.  Pay attention to those changes, especially as they relate to chapter ten.  I hope that all of you will come to class on Wednesday/Thursday with a lot of questions for me.  In addition, remember that I will be spot checking your motif charts - be complete through to chapter twelve.  Feel free to partner with a friend on this:  sometimes someone will see something that you've overlooked.

English IV:

If you did not finish your word transformation vocabulary assignment then you need to finish that over the weekend.  In addition, if you have any missing assignments then you need to get those submitted ASAP.  We will be finishing this play shortly and having our final test on the play AFTER Spring Break.  It'd be best to study to prepare.
