AP English III
We all got to the same place today, but 4A didn't have the opportunity to read the introduction aloud so that we had a handle on some of the bigger ideas that DuBois is presenting in his text. I've uploaded the slides from 1A where we had some of these discussions to help you make sense of the article.
Be sure that you look at the slides as you are reading to get an understanding of ideas like "double consciousness" as well as "the veil". These are going to be major ideas in African American literature that many authors will approach - it's important that we see them from their beginning with DuBois. Read and annotate this text in advance of our discussion on Tuesday.
Additionally, be ready to have your websites graded on Monday. Any changes should be made to the site before 5:00 so that those changes can be assessed. I enjoyed your presentations today.
English IV
Today in class we did a lot to focus on vocabulary as well as finish our study of "Showdown with Big Eva". I'll have your graphic organizers graded in just a bit. Next class we'll finish our test corrections and we'll also get started on our final project with A Doll's House. I'm hoping that we will finish this play and most of the unit before we leave for Thanksgiving break. Remember that if you didn't take the quiz on Act I, then you should see me to get that settled.
