Homework for B-Day Students -- 4 March 2020

AP Literature


Today we read and discussed various features of Sonnet 55 (including meter, scanning, caesura, assonance, enjambment, and other devices). The best way to get a handle on iambic pentameter is to memorize a perfectly metrical line and always have it ready to hand (mine is: "she is as in a field a silken tent"). Some lines in Shakespeare are not always perfect, which can affect meaning. Then you all gave me some great starts for your pitches for the sonnet projects. We will keep fine-tuning this as we go along, but I was impressed by your attention to the companion sonnets. We then began watching a different version of TN, Act 3 scene 1. This scene is pretty complicated! We did not get to discuss it in its entirety. I would like everyone to use the viewing guide to review/reread the scene, in addition to Scenes 2 and 3, for Friday. We will also talk about Sonnet 94. Be sure to annotate!!! Point out devices, key words, images, anything that stands out, and comment on what you observe. See you Friday!

AP Research

Good Afternoon All! Today was a day to begin our conferences and our check on data check. We will finish these on Friday with Mr. Ellison leading the conversation. I want to remind all of you that you are having your first PREP Check this weekend. I'll be looking at four folders for documentation. These are as follows:

1. Research Records - I should see data sets here. Even if they are blank, they should be here.
2. Records of Communication - Participants and Expert Advisers should be logged here.
3. Weekly Work - 21 Reflections. Task Log updated to most recent tasks.
4. Assessment Task Drafts - A draft through the method section.
