Homework and Announcements - The Beginning of the End - 5/2 and 5/3

Students,

We're now at a point in the year where we are really focused on wrapping up and preparing for exams, or two rounds of exams for AP students.  Below are some reminders going into AP Exam week and also as we move in to May.  Remember as always to ask for any help, especially if you're falling behind or have been absent.

AP English III and IV

Next week you all have your AP Exams, many of you will be absent on Monday taking your AP science exams so the schedule and lessons will be a bit discombobulated.  Remember that you should be focusing on your review at this point.  Go over strategies, learn and review vocabulary, maybe a practice set or two.  We'll continue talking about the writing tasks in class over the next few days.

Don't forget about our photos.  Your respective exams are at the end of the week and you have morning exams.  I would really enjoy seeing all of you before you march in to do the deed, one last cheer perhaps.

AP English III - Remember about your motif and calligraphy projects on Invisible Man.  I will spot check your novels when you submit your project to me.  Thus, there will be times for you to come by during the week of the 13th.  Prepare yourselves accordingly.

AP English IV - Your final projects are coming due at the very end of the quarter.  Right before your Senior Breakfast day.  Stay tuned on Monday for more fun surprises at the end of the year!  If you've not finished Ivan Denisovich make sure that you do!

English IV

Many of you today asked me in class about your Shakespeare final presentation grades.  If you need to make up part of this assignment, please see me during your lunch period to get this settled.  You all also have your final project which should be occupying your time outside.  Think about your day, think about your daily routines.  Remember the idea of introspection and reflection - What does what you do say about who you are?  How can you express this with various voices?

And onward to next week!  Happy Friday!
