Homework for A-Day Students: 4 December

AP English III

We had a very productive day today in class which focused on new symbols which are uncovered in Chapters Six through Eight. These symbols were productive because they related to previous symbols as well as motifs and topics which are being woven through the text by Morrison. We were then able to distill the information about the symbols in to clear outcomes related to conflicts and information about the characters.

For tonight, finish reading James Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son" this text is in 50 Essays, and I posted the pdf of the reading in Google Classroom. Remember that all we have left is Section III.

As you finish your reading of Baldwin, start to think about topics or ideas we have encountered in various texts. We'll be doing some in-class writing on Thursday related to finding and drawing connections between various authors and time periods. This will be one of the preliminary assignments as we consider the final project for this unit.

English IV

Today in class we finished watching A Doll's House. Quite the ending, right? We then finished some questions to go over what happened at the end and what this really means for the characters.

Next class we'll be focused on our projects. You should be able to finish the remaining projects on Thursday's class. If you need additional time, you'll have the weekend to pull together any last work.

Remember that next week you'll have your final quiz on A Doll's House. It'll focus mostly on Act III, but there will be some questions that cover the whole play as well. It would be a good idea this weekend to take your notes with you to study and review.
