Homework for the Weekend - 25 January 2016 - B Day

English IV

A few of you were absent today for the test that we took on Twelfth Night. Be sure that you see me as soon as possible to get this made-up. You especially want to do it now while the information about what we've studied is still fresh in your head.

For the weekend there's not any real homework. If you have a chance, talk to people about Frankenstein. See what they already know or think about it. We'll start studying this text on Monday!

AP English III

I am so proud of the amazing level of analysis that you all brought to the Alabama Clergy's letter. You all found the holes in the argument and were able to see how King was immediately responding to them. We then went to the computer lab to do work on allusions, which will help us next class.

For the weekend you have a few things to do:

  1. Reread Dr. King's "Letter from a Birmingham City Jail" and annotate the heck out of it. Now you know what he's doing on a macro level, so start to find how it happens on the micro level.
  2. I gave you two sample SYNTHESIS essays. These are our next type of timed writing. Read over the essays and try to determine the task. What's the question? What do you have to do?
  3. If you are missing anything, you will see zeroes in PowerSchool. Take the time that you have this weekend to get those things turned in ASAP. Remember, you have to get away from bad habits if you're going to be successful this quarter!
