And now I've met all of you and I can say that this year is going to be really wonderful. I'm really excited to see how you all are approaching the course and your new year at Jordan. Here's what you need to take care of for tonight:
AP English III
The parent information and contact sheet is located two posts down. Make sure that if you fill out the sheet online then you bring back the paper version with the first line filled out and the word "ONLINE" at the top. Then I'll know where to find the information.
In addition, I want you to finish reading the Alexie piece we started in class. Make sure to read and annotate - follow the same ideas we began discussing today in class. At the end, please answer question number two. Make sure to write a thorough response to this question as we will spend time working through the idea in our seminar on Thursday. The question is:
In paragraph 7, Alexie repeats a certain verb fourteen times. What is
this verb, and what effect does this repetition have? What might
Alexie be trying to say about the process of his coming to literacy, in
terms of both the effort required and the height of the obstacles
encountered (or, given the metaphor introduced in paragraph 4, the
thickness of the doors that must be broken through)?
The whole Alexie piece and the question can be found at this link.
You should be able to turn in your response if I were to ask for it. Make sure to also bring in your copy of Shame of the Nation next class.
English II
The homework for the A-day class is the same as your homework tonight. Please complete the parent information sheet either on paper or using the online form below. Remember to turn in the paper form, even if you complete the form online. After this, complete the rough draft of your travel paragraph. Remember that your paragraph needs all four parts to be complete. Have your paragraphs with you next class so that we can complete our peer editing!
