Homework for A-Day Students: 2/4/2014

AP English III

Next class we will begin our reading of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.  Like we do with every book we study as a class we will be reading the Prologue together as a group in class to set a foundation for you all to move forward into the text.  Make sure that you have your copy next class.  If you are using a copy which I will provide for you, be sure to bring post-it notes with you.

For tonight, I would like you to read Audre Lorde's "Fourth of July".  Pay particular attention to questions one and four as the use of diction and irony are especially important in this piece.  Further, you will want to consider how Lorde, Hurston, and Baldwin have given you an idea of different types of African American identity.  Are there common trends that you see between these voices?  What about the differences?

Enjoy the reading!

Tonight you need to complete your work on exercise four which is on the reverse of our review sheet in class.  I made an error last time because you didn't know the verb conjugations which are used in the sentences.  Now that you know them, you can accurately do this work.  Remember that you are selecting ten sentences and making all necessary changes from singular to plural.  Pay attention to your verbs!

This will provide you a last good practice for our quiz which will occur on Monday (A-day) and Tuesday (B-day).  This quiz will focus on singular versus plural in the nominative case, irregular plurals, adjectives, verbs, and possessive pronouns.  Be ready!
