Homework for B-Day Classes: Tuesday the 6th of February

English IV

Good work today analyzing Gothic elements and working through an episode of The Simpsons for a view of Gothic literature in a bit of a fun way. Next class we will start wrapping up this introduction unit before we go on to reading and studying Frankenstein. Also next class will be our last chance to go through our projects before we present them. Projects should be complete next class.

AP English III

There are a few things that you should be working on as we move through to next class - here are your specific reminders below.

  • Research Papers - You have access to the Synthesis Sourcepack documents via Google Classroom. Alter the templates so that you are going through your question, your sources and documents, and your context for your issue. Use SIRS or other resources to collect and organize your documents. This is a useful assignment and should be an easy A for all of you.
  • Reading - I feel as though our conversation on Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son" could have been richer had more of you thoroughly read it. We will continue to look at the piece next class as well as the poems. Be sure that you have thoroughly read and analyzed it using our discussion today as a jumping off point to the text and understanding Baldwin's larger points.
  • Upcoming - Next week we will begin reading Invisible Man as well having our first Synthesis timed writing. Please have a copy of the text and be ready for your timed writing.
