Homework for the Weekend and Monday - 3/1 and 3/4

Happy March!  It's time to start a new month.  Here are your notes and reminders to prepare you for next class.

AP English IV

These assignments will not be collected or due until Thursday the 7th of March as there will be a substitute with you on Tuesday since I'll be administering the ACT to the Juniors.  For the weekend you have a few things to accomplish:

1. Reread Act II, Scene 5 - As you reread, select a quote to complete your 1Q1P assignment.  Remember that the goal of the 1Q1P is to carefully analyze the quotation in order to draw connections between its content and the larger play.  This is your second of these assignments, so I hope to see some improvement in your skills.
2. Complete your vocabulary cards.  Have five cards ready for Thursday's class.  Follow all of the guidelines on the assignment sheet.  Ask if you have questions.

AP English III

These assignments are also due for Thursday/Friday.  First I want you to read James Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son" - but only read parts one and two.  This is a long piece that we're going to spend a few days talking about - we're also going to be talking about this piece as we work through the rest of Invisible Man.  Read this article and connect it as thoroughly as you can to Invisible Man.  Here is a link to the piece - sorry for not uploading it sooner.

Your other reading assignment for the weekend is to read chapter two of Invisible Man.  This is a long chapter - around seventy pages - so you will need to divide and conquer.  Figure out an amount of reading that can be accomplished daily for you and meet your goal.  This is a difficult chapter due to its provocative content - there's a rape scene and some other very disturbing elements.  Push through and realize why Ellison is having you feel a particular way.  We'll discuss this thoroughly Thursday/Friday.

English IV

If you did not finish your Act II assessment then you need to finish that over the weekend.  I need those to be collected next class.  If you need to review the film to help you answer the questions, here's a link to youtube.com so that you can find the film there.  This is a link to part four of the film on youtube.  Act II begins at about the seven minute mark.  Then, you'll want to watch parts five and six, to finish Act II.  Use the navigation on the side of the page. 

Furthermore, you should be completing your visual and preparing your presentations.  A day will present on the 11th, B day on the 12th.  Be ready!
