AP English III
The main task to perform over the weekend is to complete the Synthesis Sourcepack assignment via Google Classroom. Remember that you are finalizing your research topic/question by embracing the synthesis pack format. Use the template documents as well as the synthesis prompts we have looked at from College Board to complete this assignment. Turn it in when you are done. This work sets you up very well for the outline - it would be a good idea to begin out your outline as soon as possible.
On Tuesday we'll have our unit examination. There will be a synthesis timed writing as well as short answers related to each of the four authors we have read. Remember these will be SHORT answers (3-4 sentences per answer) and this will be a CLOSED BOOK/NOTE assessment.
On Thursday we'll begin with The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Have your copy of the novel as well as a bit of preliminary research on John Steinbeck. Who was he? When did he live? Why did he write this or other novels? What does he write about? This will help to enrich our opening study of the novel.
English IV
Today in class we had time for reading our novels and then a bit of time to have our first group conversation. Next class we'll have more time for our group meetings as you'll have a task to complete for your group.
Over the weekend, I would encourage you to keep reading! Remember that if you want to read a second book that you have a great chance to earn extra credit by doing that. This activity is a great means to build your knowledge and skill with English. I hope that you're also enjoying the chance to learn about a different person and part of the world.
