I know it seems a bit silly to wish you a new year now, but tonight is Erev Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year's Eve. Even if you're not Jewish, we can all still celebrate a good start to our new school year together. Here are your reminders for Friday's class.
AP English III
Next class we are going to finish our work on Eighner's "On Dumpster Diving" as well as begin our work on The Grapes of Wrath. Be sure that you have both texts with you in class on Friday. To prepare for our work on Friday, be sure that you've reread and annotated chapters one through four of The Grapes of Wrath. You don't need to read it as carefully as the first time, but going back through it to refresh yourself will lead to a good class seminar.
Also, remember that your "Introduction" Assignments are due on Friday. You'll submit the rough draft from peer editing with the final draft. Remember that I'm looking for the following in your drafts:
- a clear narrative approach
- strong and specific details
- clear use of language
- an effective title
- personalized voice

A-Day Students, I hope that you enjoyed today's first culture day. B-Day Students, you'll enjoy this on Thursday. For tonight you want to continue studying and working through your alphabet. By this point you should be confident in the alphabet and are now moving to reading whole words. We will review the alphabet on Friday/Monday in preparation for our quiz on the 10th and 11th. You will be expected to read, write, listen, and speak on your quiz next week. Spend the weekend practicing and studying.
Be sure, as well, that all of your writing practice sheets are done for our review day.
