AP English III
Really great work together today to start deconstructing whiteness and white privilege in class. I'm very proud of the way that you all confronted the ideas and stayed respectful through our conversations. We'll continue to discuss elements of race and privilege as we keep working through the unit. Here are your reminders going to Friday's class.
1. Focus on your drafts. Today you submitted rough drafts and some of you have already completed your writing conference. This is a good thing. Keep writing. Keep connecting. And keep asking for help from your classmates as you need it. Final drafts are due on the 28th of March!
2. For Tuesday we have the reading of Chapters 13-15 in Invisible Man. I gave you Booker T. Washington's "Atlanta Compromise Speech" today in class. This reading is meant to fill in some background knowledge you will need to understand Chapters 13-15. Be on the lookout for references to Booker T. Washington as we go through this section of the text and remember - we already have seen one.

Next class we will begin drafting our Frankenstein adaptation essays. Today in class we worked through our introduction paragraphs as well as a full conception of either The Creature or Dr. Frankenstein. Then, we read through to see the turning point for The Creature. Now would be a good time for you to start reading over your notes and reviewing for our exam that we will have next week on Thursday.
