Birthday Presents aka Homework for 5 September 2017 - B Day

AP English III

Your main task for homework tonight is to read and annotate Stephanie Ericsson's "The Ways We Lie" - this article is available in 50 Essays (first edition) and at this link. As you read, annotate. Keep track of vocabulary and major ideas and motifs in the text.

As you read "The Ways We Lie" take note of the different lies that Ericsson writes about. Do you see how Didion, Capote, Dick and Perry employ these different lies? To what larger effect?

Also, keep in mind that you will receive your responses to the In Cold Blood questions on Thursday and will be able to resubmit them for a new grade.

English IV

If you haven't yet considered the brainstorming questions for our personal essay, do that tonight so that you are ready to write and plan your essays next class. We'll be focused on drafting our personal essays before going to the computer lab to type them up.
