AP English III
For those of you who were absent from first period because of the matinee, please be aware that you missed a good review of Chapter 20 as we worked through the major conversations in Chapter 20. Our big takeaways focused on the reality of California, the connection between Jim Casy and Jesus Christ, and the major elements of the Joads (Ma/Tom) which continue to shine through even in new environments. You can find all of your motifs in Chapter 20 - and we had some new characters and major ideas come through the text. Be sure that your notes and annotations are reflective of this.
As we move forward to the weekend be sure that you are reading to the next chapter set. We have Chapters 22, 23, and 24 ahead of us for Monday. We'll be going to the new camp in this section. Be sure that you keep using your motif charts to track information and keep finding the trends in the text.
Don't forget that we'll have our college workshop on Monday. Be ready to ask questions and start to look at what we can do as we continue to move forward to Senior year.
English IV
Today in class we finished our Lesson 17 Vocabulary and then moved on to our projects related to our literature circles and book research. I'm hoping that we have enjoyed digging into some research in order to see the point of including research in our approach to novels and understanding.
I would see a Vocabulary Test coming soon. We have completed all of Lesson 17. We'll be doing some review of Vocabulary on Monday and Wednesday next week, and we'll have our exam when we return from Easter.
