Another great day. I appreciated the chance to conference with you all today about your writing and your progress so far in class. Over the weekend you should be working on the rewrite of your paragraphs based on what we went over together during the conference. Use the example paragraph to help you out.
You'll turn in the revised paragraph and the old one on Monday to us and get a new grade on it before your progress reports.
You should also be reading in The Boy Who Dared. Getting to page fifty-five by Wednesday is our reading goal.
AP English III
I hope that you all appreciated the time and effort that went in to getting your outlines back to you so quickly. Also, we're hoping that today's class focused on writing and developing paragraphs (both body and introduction) was good for you as we move on to our rough drafts. A few reminders to take you into the weekend:
- Your rough drafts will be checked on Friday and we will have a workshop. Keep working in your Google Doc and let us know if you need our help with something as you are working. This is the joy of working in Google Docs.
- We'll be starting our study of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on Wednesday. You should bring your copy to class with you then. If you do not purchase your own copy you can check one out from me, but you will need post-it notes or some other means to annotate
- Monday will be our Quest on Didion, Erickson, Capote, and Welty. We will have one question on each of the minor pieces and then two questions on In Cold Blood. You should be able to explain author's purpose, the use of the rhetorical triangle and the three classical appeals in order to be successful on this assessment. One of the In Cold Blood questions is open book, so bring your copies of the text. This will also be your final chance to resubmit annotations for In Cold Blood.
That will do it from me. I hope you all enjoy your weekend.
