Ending the Week - 4 March 2021

AP Language

Great work today, team. I was glad to finish writing conferences with you all and have the chance for some second round conferences in some cases. Remember that your final drafts of your paper are due on Monday. If your paper isn't submitted on time you will lose five points for lateness. You will have the chance to resubmit your essay after you receive my feedback, so aim to submit on time. I'm available throughout the day on Monday and during Office Hours for additional help if you need it.

Don't forget that your AP Classroom FRQ will lock tomorrow. If you don't complete it before it locks, then you can find it on Google Classroom as well. Remember that this is a good dry-run for your research paper. The FRQ and the paper are essentially the same task - if you can do one, you can do the other.

Remember to read this weekend. The YouTube channel has videos to help you process and access the chapters. We'll be working through Chapters 2, 3, and 4 next week. There's some difficult content, but I know that together we can discover some interesting truths as well.

Today we had our day to meet and conference as well as update our classroom map. I think it's great to see all of the places around the world that you've been studying so far. If you didn't add your point to the map, be sure to do so and then mark that task complete on Google Classroom.

We were able to finish almost all of our conferences today. Since we didn't finish everyone, I'll extend the final deadline for the Final Interpretation. This will give everyone the chance to meet and conference before turning in your final task. Remember that I also have Office Hours on Monday from 10-11:15 am. You can come to BBCU and we can conference about your work and ask questions.

Remember that the outline assignment will give you almost everything you need for the final interpretation. If you're doing a Google Slide show, you may want to copy and paste your information from the outline, add an image from the item, and make sure that your grammar and spelling is accurate. It's the same deal with a Google Doc, but make sure that your writing flows together and that there are clear connections between the ideas you're presenting.

Next week we'll start our new unit, which actually will be our last unit. I've got some great books, stories, poems, and articles up my sleeve - even a bit of anime too. I'm excited for what we have ahead!
