Homework for B-Day Students - 12/12/2014

AP English III

Your homework for the weekend is made of two parts.  Number one, please make sure that you read the next chapter set of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  As you read, continue to annotate and pay attention to the notes I gave you today in class.  The turning point in Huck's maturity is the key thing in these chapters.

Secondly, read Gloria Anzaldua's "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" available in 50 Essays or at this link.  As you read this - think about the connection between language and identity.  Anzaldua is working through this in a Mexican-American context - there's a lot of good stuff in here, especially considering the continued debate around immigration in this country.

English II

Continue to plan and develop your speeches.  Remember that if you didn't have the homework for today's class have it next class for partial credit.  Also, if you have anything to turn in you need to get it in by Friday the 19th because that's the last day anything will be accepted.
