Homework for the Weekend and Monday - 3/15 and 3/18

With the coming of the weekend you have a lot of opportunities to get ahead on some major work coming down the pike in the last few weeks of the quarter.  Here are your reminders.

AP English IV

Over the weekend you need to complete the reading of Act IV.  I know that I did not check annotations of your texts today in class, so do expect that when we return from the weekend.  In addition, you will have a second round of vocabulary cards due on Thursday.  Your words must come from Acts III and IV.  Please take the notes I gave you on your cards, which I handed back to you today, and apply them to your next set.  Remember - the etymology refers to the history and sources of the words.  Don't leave something blank on your cards, if there is no known source, then say that.  Show me that you did your work.

AP English III

Over the weekend you should continue to move forward on your research using SIRS and the CQ Researcher.  Remember that you must compile EIGHT sources and then eventually synthesize at least FIVE in the body of your essay.  At least ONE of those sources must be a non-print source.  Remember that on SIRS you are able to simply search graphics, which can be useful in using the non-print source.

Next week I'll be giving you your outline rubric to begin moving you toward your drafting process.  Remember that you must research before you can fully outline!

Lastly, this weekend you need to finish your reading of chapters five and six of Invisible Man.  We'll be having a lengthy discussion/seminar on Tuesday/Wednesday related to these chapters.  Annotate heavily!

English IV

Over the weekend you have no homework; however, if you have missing assignments or you did not finish your one page response on conflicts in Twelfth Night, please get that done this weekend.  Use Jupiter grades and ask about any assignments which are missing for you right now.  There are only two weeks left in the grading period.
