We are oh so close to Winter Break! I can feel it in the air! Here are your reminders to go forward into Friday!
English IV
Today we took our tests on A Doll's House and we had some time for finishing all of our project work. I'm happy that I have some great looking movie posters on my wall! We ended our class by discussing what makes a "perfect poem".
For next class I want you to bring a poem that you think fits the idea of a "perfect poem". Be ready to share a bit of your poem and explain to your classmates what makes it so good to you!
AP English III
We did a lot of great analysis today of Equiano's text as well as some big discussions about how the way in which our textbooks present stories can actually be racist too. Always be on the lookout for the veil! From there, it was on to our synthesis assignments and our upcoming proposals. Remember that your proposals are due on Friday. You should address all five questions either as a paragraph or just by answering the questions.
Additionally, we have reading for next class. In Beloved please read and annotate Chapters 14, 15, and 16. As you are reading, pay attention to all of the gaps we can fill in about our characters and their pasts. Next class we'll be building timelines for our characters in order to investigate what all they are carrying with them. We'll also talk about a new concept next class, which will begin to pull together a lot of the bigger ideas we've been discussing so far.
