Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 22 March

That's it! We made it. We've reached the end of Quarter Three. Below are the reminders for the weekend to get you ready for the first week of Quarter Four and the beginnings of Spring Break!

English IV

Your homework for the weekend is to prepare for your examination on Monday. You have your study guide which reviews the characters, sections for the test, as well as the themes for the short answer questions. Be sure that you spend time filling in your study guide since you can use that on your test on Monday.

Also, if you see anything missing that you want to turn in, this is your last chance. I'll finalize my gradebook tomorrow afternoon when I finish writing conferences.

AP English III

Over the weekend we have a few things to take care of - some elements related to Invisible Man and then some elements related to your research papers.

First, conferences are ending tomorrow. According to my count there are twenty of you that need to see me tomorrow. Come to your conference, be productive, ask good questions. Once we conference, I'll figure your averages and your grade will be complete.

Second, we have reading to do. You've got Chapters 16-19 in Invisible Man. As you go through this section, connect to our discussion today from Anzaldua. How is controlling the language a person speaks a way to kill them? As we watch TIM progress - is he being himself? Why or why not? Is he falling into the cycles again? Don't forget that your second round of vocabulary cards are due on Monday as well - this set covers Chapters 10 - 19.

Lastly, your final drafts of your papers are due on Wednesday. Be sure that you are actively revising and putting to practice our conversation from the conference. I'll be available on Monday and Tuesday for quick questions and drop-in appointments.
