Homework for B-Day Students: 11/13/2014

AP English III

I will have your tests back to you ASAP, likely at the end of the weekend.  For this weekend you have two things to accomplish:

  1. Get a copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  Make sure that it is a complete copy and has not been abridged, you want an UNABRIDGED version.  If you can find one that has the original illustrations, even better.  That will add a lot to your understanding of the text.
  2. Watch an episode of Saturday Night Live, Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons, Colbert Report, or The Daily Show.  Take notes as you are watching on the following topic:  What is being ridiculed or mocked?  How is this humor accomplished - through what rhetorical/literary devices?  These notes will help you in our work beginning TAoHF next week.
English II

Your homework is below.  Make sure that you have all of the preparation work done so that you can be super productive in the computer lab.
