What a lovely day with all of you. I was impressed by the seriousness with which the Russian students completed their quizzes and the amount of discussion and thinking we had going on in AP English III as we worked through our key characters. Here are your reminders for tonight!
AP English III
Tonight ladies and gentlemen you have one of the hardest pieces to read this year, Ralph Waldo Emerson's "The Oversoul". Due to the fact that I was running around like mad this morning I didn't have a chance to make copies of the article. There's a link here - or you can come and pick up a copy of the essay next tomorrow. You do not have to have this read until you come in to class next week. Next class we're going to be focusing on starting our Writing Bootcamp and you'll get back your first essays. Remember, we're ripping off the band-aid; it's going to hurt.
As you read "The Oversoul" you should annotate heavily. Keep taking yourselves back to our notes on Jim Casy's philosophy. Find those elements in the text. Those will be your anchors as we go through the text. Remember to ask questions of the text, and keep up with your vocabulary logs!

Today you completed your first quizzes on the alphabet. If there was anything at all on the quiz or any letters that you don't feel sure about make sure that you go back and study tonight. Also, look over and begin to learn that new vocabulary, we'll be studying and working through that next class as well as a few other small notes. It's time to start writing dialogues!
