Homework for the Weekend - 3/7 and 3/8

Here are your tasks for the weekend - be sure that you ask for any assistance you may need!

AP English IV

Over the weekend I want for you to read all of Act III.  It's a pretty quick act, but Shakespeare will be giving us the main turning point of the play here - be sure to be on the lookout for it.  As you're reading, be sure to keep up with your annotations and especially spend time on your back covers since we are at the mid point of the play.  Remember to include symbols, topics/motifs, conflicts, and settings on your back cover.

In addition, be sure that you continue to collect vocabulary.  You'll have cards due again - so you may want to use this time to begin your next set.

AP English III

By this point all of you have gone through and received instruction on how to use CQ and SIRS from the Durham County Library.  If you were not in class for the presentation, please try to see me next week so that I can review this information with you.  Begin working through your paper topics so that you are ready to submit these to me this upcoming Wednesday/Thursday.  You will have a SYNTHESIS timed writing this same day and a journal check!  Lots to do on Wednesday/Thursday!

For the weekend, continue moving forward in your reading of Invisible Man - get through chapters three and four.  As you read, pay special attention to the character of The Vet (you'll meet him at Chapter Three) - he acts as a very important voice in the text.  Look at how he is foreshadowing events.

English IV

Your presentations on Elizabethan England are due on Monday/Tuesday - No Exceptions and No Excuses.  I hope that you will use the rubrics to complete your presentation so that you are prepared for Monday/Tuesday.  I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!
