AP English III
Please remember to get caught up with your reading and blogging in advance of Thursday's class. By the beginning of class on Thursday I should be able to find your question and thesis post for your mural, your analysis of the motifs in Chapters 23, 24, and 25, and lastly your synthesis post for the last half of the novel.
You should also be working diligently in your group to plan your mural - remember to use your blogs since that is a record of your thoughts, quotes, and ideas about these motifs. I would recommend using a piece of notebook paper/computer paper to start planning out what will go where on your murals. Lay out the quotes, images, and other elements. Organize them in a way that makes sense. Remember that you're proving your thesis through your mural - you want to organize and plan the same way you would a written essay.
Next class we will be finishing our seminar on Invisible Man, be caught up and prepared to participate. Next week we will begin our work on The Crucible. Make sure that you have your copy.

Great class today to begin our work on South Africa. For tonight, I want you to read Bessie Head's "The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses". As you read, pay attention to the idea of apartheid/segregation. Also notice the two main characters of Brille and Hannetije. Why are they in conflict with each other? How does the conflict develop? How is it resolved?
You have your own copy of the story, so you can take notes and highlight as you read. Don't forget to be able to answer the first three questions at the end of the story in advance of a possible reading quiz. Next class we will spend more time developing our essays and learning more about South Africa.
