Homework for B-Day Students: 11/4/2014

ALL OF YOU!!!  REMIND AND ENCOURAGE YOUR PARENTS TO VOTE IF THEY ARE REGISTERED IN NORTH CAROLINA!

Now that that is out of the way, let's move on to homework.

AP English III

Your homework tonight is to focus on your Woolf/Petrunkevitch tone compare/contrast assignments.  Make sure to structure this in MLA format with your header at the upper right, your title centered, and your quotes/paraphrases cited with either a page number or paragraph number.  Remember that your question is:  How does the tone of the author help him/her to achieve his/her purpose.  Tie the tone clearly to the purpose and through your explanation and analysis of details, prove that this is what happens.  I would recommend a three to four paragraph organizational structure with your argument, a paragraph on text one, paragraph on text two, and then a conclusion.  This ensures that you deal with both texts thoroughly.

In addition, remember that your presentations of your skit will occur on Monday.  Work on these.  Practice over the weekend.  Your test on The Great Gatsby will fall on the 13th of November.

English II

Continue working on your projects tonight.  Brainstorm your moment and consider how you will tell that story in the format of a graphic novel.  How will you draw yourself?  The other people in the moment?  How will you communicate your feelings?
