Homework for the Weekend - 27 February 2020 - B Day

AP Literature

Today was a day to focus on language and its usage in Act 2, Scene 4 as we understand some of what is going on between Orsino and Viola/Cesario. It's also an important day for us to look at the way in which comedy can be used in order to open up a text and make us question some of the actions of our characters in this play.

For tonight/the weekend there are a few things to be aware of. First, finish reading and reviewing Act 2. We'll finish our study of Scene 5 in class on Monday. Check in with your notes and viewing guides. Remember that we're combining the Act II Quiz with Act III. This is also a time to make sure that your vocabulary cards are complete for Act II. Secondly, collaborate with your group and consider your companion sonnet. Next class you'll be able to make your pitch. Lastly, take a look at Sonnet 53. What do you notice about the structure? What do you notice about the style Shakespeare uses?


Any missing assignments should be completed/submitted by Tuesday, at the latest.

AP Research

Today was our day for another round of Peer Editing. Thank you for giving thoughtful feedback to your classmates and for your feedback to me about ways that we can make the class productive moving forward. We have THREE sections left in our paper. But thankfully, they'll go pretty quickly - all we need is the DATA! So, here are my suggestions for tonight:

1. Spend some time with your PREP Folder. Remember that next week I'll check them. Have updates in your required folders (Weekly Work, Research Records, Assessment Task Drafts). Also, be sure that all of your reflections are complete.

2. Work on your POD slides. Do you have slides that line up with where your paper is?


3. Get your data sets together. Next class we'll start to discuss and consider ways to represent our data for our reader/viewer. Bring in what you have, even if it's empty, so that we can build what we need!
