AP English III
Over the weekend for homework I would like for you to read Lars Eighner's "On Dumpster Diving" - it is available in 50 Essays or at this link. If you use the online version you will want to have some post its as well due to the fact that there is not a lot of space in the margins for annotating. As you read continue to look for the elements of rhetoric we have discussed as well as participating in your own analysis of the piece. Look for elements of writing that Eighner uses and consider how these elements contribute and strengthen his overall argument.
This is a really enjoyable piece - pay special attention to his use of TONE - it varies throughout, notice the shifts. I look forward to a thorough discussion on Wednesday as well as more work on The Working Poor - be sure that you have your copies with you on Wednesday.
Russian I
Today in class we finished learning all of the letters in the Russian alphabet. Congratulations! Now we can move forward with our study of the grammar and the more high-level elements of the language. I'm putting below links to several .mp3 files to help you with your pronunciation of the sounds in Russian. Over the weekend it should be your priority to memorize all of the letters and become more fluent in your handwriting. Use the worksheet I gave you in class as well as the notes we've taken over the past few days to practice more.
Study! Then study some more! Your first quiz is coming soon!
Here is the link to the files on the alphabet. Use the file names to download individual letter sounds or the whole alphabet.
