Welcome Back Everyone! Homework for 1/5/2015 - B Day Students

English II

For homework tonight you need to prepare for next class's drafting workshop on your Odysseus "This I believe..." speech.  Remember to take your work from your drafting packet and rewrite it as a whole speech either typed up or written out.  As you write the paragraphs, try to create transitions from one paragraph to the next so that your writing flows seamlessly from one idea to the next.

Make sure to have these speeches with you as these speeches will likely be your last major grade of the nine weeks.

AP English III

You've finished reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn so now we just need to finish the connected work.  You will finish up your seminar on the end and whole of the novel with Ms. Gerdes on Wednesday - make sure that your texts are fully annotated to reflect the thinking you've done as you've been studying this novel.

Tonight and for the rest of the week you should really begin pushing forward on your websites to get these things done.  Your presentation of the website will be on Thursday next week.  Remember that your first task is to finish your analysis; after you finish the creation of your analysis then you can move on to the drafting of the group synthesis.  This is when you really need to start working together as a group to make sure that everything gets done.

Your test on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will fall next Tuesday.  We'll spend time on Friday to prepare and outline this exam.  Your illustration project has been postponed to the week after MLK, Jr. Holiday.  Continue to work on these and ask questions as you are creating these projects.

All Classes - Remember about the new cell phone procedures.  These will begin on Friday.
