Beginning Week 17 - 12 January

AP Language

Today's class was a focus on narrowing our scope and focus for our investigation in order to determine a clear and specific focus. This allows us to create a research question which can be answered and explored thoroughly in the few (5-7) pages that we have for this assignment. Keep in mind that this is a recursive process, meaning it builds on itself, as you keep working with source material, you'll likely keep narrowing and refining your process.

Final research questions are due at the end of the week. Please resubmit on Google Classroom and ensure the whole document is complete including the final two spaces for your revised question and your DADS argument. Don't forget to complete the FRQ practice for Unit 3 on AP Classroom. This is a great chance to test your skills and align yourself to the examination. 

Begin to find your sources and collect your findings. We'll spend next class working with source material and beginning the building of our outlines/sourcepacks.

English 10

Today was our kickoff to our final three classes of the quarter and semester. Today we took a brief grammar quiz before moving on to view the film and consider our task ahead as media critics. By the end of today, make sure that you submit your viewing guide with your notes from your viewing. Remember that you only need to watch about thirty minutes to complete the viewing guide.

Next class we'll focus on writing our media critiques before we prepare for our SOL essays. The SOL essay will happen on the last day of the quarter and be our final score for the quarter. We'll look at the prompt and prepare on Thursday so that you're ready to write.

At this time, it's important that you submit any and all missing assignments. If you have a few, focus on those that are worth the most points to have the best outcome for your investment. Let me know what I can do to help you.
