AP English III
Today in class we focused around rhetorical analysis (noticing patterns in a text to connect them to an argument) as well as synthesis (creating connections between various text/authors) as we discussed Steinbeck and Orwell. We didn't have time to review the multiple choice work, so we'll go over that on Tuesday.
Remember as I said today in class, it's all about preparing for the exam right now. Thinking and speaking is just like writing. If you're talking and thinking in class then your practicing for the exam - if you're not, then you're not. Consider if you're maximizing your opportunities right now.
Over the weekend we have Chapters 25 and 26 to read and consider. We'll have presentations of Chapters 17 to 26 on Thursday. Be prepared for this work. Have complete motif charts - we'll have a bit of time to select our motifs next class and we'll also do some work with literary criticism. Super exciting times ahead! Also, don't forget that all paper resubmissions are due on Thursday/Friday.
English IV
Today in class we had some fun and we did some reading (which is also pretty fun). The main task we had today was to prepare for our Vocabulary Exam on Tuesday. Remember that this exam is going to cover all of the roots we have studied in this unit. You should know the meaning of the roots, the association words, and how to determine the meaning of a word given its parts.
This test will also count as your resubmission of the earlier quiz. Be ready for our examination!
