Happy Monday Everyone! We're back in the swing of things, and I'm especially excited about this week because it ends with my birthday! Here are your reminders for tonight to move you into Wednesday.
AP English III
Tonight you should all be working on two tasks which will move us forward into Wednesday. First, I want all of you to start to do the heavy lifting and work to revise your outlines - especially the thesis/argument statements since we focused on that today. Take a moment to look at what you have written: Most of you have given me only the defensible point that you are trying to make. Remember that this is only one part of the necessary argument structure. Follow the way we created Kozol's argument today and use that as a model to help you rework yours. Once this is done, the rest of the process will begin to fall into place.
In addition, reread and annotate chapters four and six of Kozol. Remember to apply what we are doing in class to your reexamination of the text. This is crucial as you begin to open your approach to reading texts such as these.
English II
There is no homework that you have to complete to turn in tonight unless, of course, you forgot to turn in the final draft of your paragraphs. Since some students have been added to the class late I'm giving everyone an additional day with no penalty to turn in these assignments. Make sure to submit both your first and second draft of the work to get full credit. See me or Ms. Ginocchio if you have any questions or need help.
