English IV
Your homework is the same as your classmates in 2A. Tonight I want you to read the next two letters from Frankenstein - Letter Two and Letter Three. As you are reading, look for details about Robert Walton as a person. Highlight or underline the details and then in the margins, write a word or phrase that states what this says about him. This is very similar to what we were doing in class today with our chart.
Next class we will review this before we start on the real story of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.
AP English III
I feel as though there was some very natural confusion as we started reading Invisible Man today in class. This is very natural. I keep finding things that make more sense every time I take a group of students through this opening chapter. Today in class, as we read, we completed our annotations via our motif charts, focused on understanding elements of post-modernism in the text, and got a full understanding of the narrator/main character.
Tonight you should begin reading Chapter One. All of the motifs are present in Chapter One. You will also want to complete a vocabulary card from Chapter One - just like we did with the Prologue. As you read Chapter One, pay attention to the symbolism of the boxing match. We'll try to tie things together and make understandings on Friday.
Remember that next class we will have our first synthesis timed writing and on Friday your synthesis sourcepack for your own research paper is due. The work due on Friday should be submitted electronically via Google Classroom.
I look forward to taking you all through this fun and complicated novel. Remember - just keep reading!
