Beginning the Week - 11 May 2021

AP Language

Today was our classroom session for our miniature AP Examination. You completed a MCQ as well as an FRQ of your choosing. I will now start the process of reading and scoring your work. If you would like to complete additional practice - please let me know and I can put things together for you. It may also be helpful for us to conference during LT or Monday Office Hours to review your progress so far.

Tonight focus on reading and moving to the end of Invisible Man. Class on Thursday/Friday will focus on Chapters 22 and 23. We have a new TIM on the scene - so watch how he starts to do things a bit differently than he has before. Keep tracking your motifs and cycles in the text. Also, keep in mind that you know your requirements for your final assignment on Invisible Man. We'll have some time next week to assign chapters and motifs, but now is a great time to plan and think as well as review the exemplars posted.

As always - if there's anything you need, please ask.

Today was our day to finish One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. We finished reading the last portion of the novel, did some critical analysis of the structure of the book, and delved into the final comprehension questions. We also took some time to think about themes in the novel - the way that they've been developed as well as the way in which they connect to texts or experiences outside the novel.

Next class will be our catch-up/get-ahead day. If you need to catch-up on missing work in the unit, that chance will be given to you Thursday/Friday. I'll send progress reports on Wednesday to let you know what you're missing. If you're all caught up, then I'd take the time to get ahead on one of the final tasks for Denisovich.

Next week you're going to turn in your final novel annotations and vocabulary. Prepare now! Be ready for the end of the year!
