A-Day Homework for the Weekend - 11 January 2019

Sorry for posting this late everyone! From my training all day Friday, then to the swim meet, and finally home. Here are your reminders.

English IV

We'll be getting back to our poet/poetry projects on Tuesday. The goal will be to finish our research and to begin studying our poem. I'll take you through a model of poetry study that is really helpful at finding and discussing themes. Make sure that you've found your chosen poem and read it several times. Consider what you think the meaning of the poem is.

Also, if you didn't finish the film, we'll get back to that on Tuesday too.

AP English III

If you did not yet share or submit your vocabulary cards, please do so. The envelopes feel a bit light...

For the weekend you have two assignments to complete - reading and writing based. On the reading side, move in to Part Two of Beloved and complete Chapter 19. This is a longer chapter and will take you some time to read; there are several breaks in the chapter - use them to your advantage. As you read, look at how things are new and different for Sethe and her daughters. You may find it useful to compare to the opening of Part One. What's the same in terms of the structure of the chapters? What's different?

In terms of your writing, be sure that you have your outline for peer review on Tuesday. The outline should consist of the four elements in the slides from class on Wednesday (Google Classroom). I will collect your Works Cited page and mark errors in citation. Be sure that you have a hard copy of this or can share one to me and that it has at least five clear sources.

I think that's everything! As always, be in touch with any questions or concerns you may have.
