Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 8 March 2018

AP English III

What a day of discovery! I think that all of you have a much better understanding of what is going on in Chapter Ten as well as what is going on in the book up to this point. Way to go on that. Over the weekend, you will want to continue reading Chapters 11 and 12. In Chapter 11 you're going to be challenged by the voice and point of view. Ride through it and make sure that you're understanding the idea of the hospital. Try to track what happens to TIM in this chapter.

In Chapter 12, he goes back out into the world after his experience in the hospital. There is a lot of language around birth and rebirth - so focus on how TIM is different than he was before.

You have all also received feedback on your synthesis timed writings as well as your outlines. Take this feedback and put it forward to your rough drafts. Rough drafts are due to me on Wednesday the 14th. When you submit your draft it is just a half of the final draft (2 to 3 pages). Be sure that you have a full introduction, two topics with sources, explanation, and transitions, a conclusion, and a works cited page. You will sign up for a writing conference and come to the conference to discuss your paper and resubmit previous work related to the paper.

As a reminder - this quarter will end on March 23rd. Be sure that you have completed all of the parts of the research paper as well as any missing assignments. The grade book has been updated to this point. Zeroes are showing missing assignments at this point.

English IV

We had a very good day today discussing The Creature and why the creature could be important as a symbol of many things. Then, we began working on the final part of our adaptation projects. In this portion of the assignment you are depicting The Creature or Dr. Frankenstein as you like and then considering how that lines up with other depictions of them. As you do this work, remember that you are focusing on explaining why you see Victor or The Creature as you do. Additionally, you want to explain why your conception of them is different than others.
