Homework for English Students - B Day - 19 December 2017

English IV

Today, we took our Act Two quiz on Twelfth Night, which included details about the plot as well as analysis of themes and irony. After that, we nearly finished watching the modern adaptation of the play, She's The Man. Next class, we will conclude the film and our viewing guides that accompanied it before moving into one of the last big assignments of the unit: a short essay comparing Twelfth Night and She's The Man. Make sure you're prepared to work through ideas on both works, and have a great day!

AP English III

Today, you all took your unit test on The Great Gatsby and other assigned texts from the unit. This was a pretty challenging test in terms of staying engaged and focus throughout the entire period, so I'm very happy with how well you all did working on your stamina. If you missed this test, you need to get in touch with Mr. Miller/Mr. Bernhard as soon as possible to figure out a time to make it up. For next class, you will need to have read and annotated William Buckley's "Why Don't We Complain?." This essay will serve as a bridge from what we have discussed this quarter into the next unit, which is on an American school of philosophy and literature called Transcendentalism. Have a great day, and see you Thursday!
