English IV
Today we began our quarter with our unit test on Frankenstein. I'll have these graded and returned to you when we return from Spring Break. I hope that you all felt well prepared and successful. Tonight it would be a good idea to make sure that you have started on your adaptation essay. If you haven't yet shared a document with me that includes your introduction work, make sure that you do.
Next class we'll be looking at some sample work as well as working in the computer lab to continue our essay development.
AP English III
Lots of good work today around symbols and their meanings. I enjoyed hearing a lot of connections back to the ideas of necropolitics and control through the text. Make sure that the symbols we discussed find their way to your cover annotations.
For tonight you have your research papers as your main focus. We went over in class the various documents that will go with your envelope and how to account for any documents that are missing. Additionally, we reviewed formatting. See these documents (3B) and (4B) for examples of perfect MLA formatting. Everything for your papers is due to me on Wednesday. Any paper collected after 4:15 PM on Wednesday will be considered late.
Over Break you have the reading of Invisible Man - Chapters 20 through 24. Lots of major events happen in these chapters including a lot of big events to Tod Clifton. Notice them and how they affect and finally change TIM. Expect a quiz and an annotation check when we return from break.
Finally, next class we'll be working through an essay by Plato - the Greek philosopher. We'll be reading it aloud in class, so, prepare by doing some light research about him. What did he study? What did he do? Why are we still reading and talking about him?
