AP English III
First, there are some big changes to your unit plan outline to be aware of. First, I completely messed up your project reflection timetable. By Monday the 25th you should have seven small daily reflections and the overall reflection completed. All of this work is submitted to me via Google Docs. I appreciate the fact that I have already received some work from you! The first journal should focus on how you've changed your life for this project and why. Beyond that, the other daily journals should just focus on your process. Additionally, the next part of the research project that will be collected is the synthesis pack - this is where you'll codify your question and pull together some of your research. We'll work on this in class on Thursday.
There is no reading for Thursday, I want you all rested and ready for your ACT. There are vocabulary cards due for Thursday. On Thursday, we'll be doing some test related skills and then working on our research papers and the synthesis prompt. Continue to revise your research question and argument as you continue to find important source material.
For Monday, we'll be working through Dr. Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham City Jail" - this text is located in 50 Essays as well as at this link. The text is very long. It would be a good idea to divide it over the weekend.
English IV
Today in class we read the final four poems that we will see on our poetry examination next week. At this point we have read several poems and we've continued to focus on many of the same skills of determining vocabulary, focusing on figurative language, and then looking at the details which lead up to the theme. All of this is the key work to do on the NCFE at the end of the year too!
Tonight everyone who hasn't finished the TP-CASTT for their individual poems really needs to. We're going to move on to writing our essays and this first step is necessary.
