End of the Quarter / Semester - 19 and 20 January

We're halfway home everyone! The back half always seems to run a bit faster than the first. Keep on pushing, and remember AP kiddos, we end in May, really.

AP Language

Today's class was a bit of a catch-up day for us since we're ahead of the other AP Language group and since we've had a lot of absences lately. Remember that everything is here and recordings are useful if you've missed class time. If you need more - please let me know.

Quarter 2 closes today! Your class is the last chance you have to submit assignments to be scored. I appreciate everyone communicating and staying on top of things. We did a bit of a look ahead to Unit 4 - check the recording and the new folder/files to see what's on tap.

Over the long weekend, I would focus on your analysis of your quotation to complete your project on The Great Gatsby. Keep in mind that this is an analysis. The previous day's feedback may be useful in how you approach this assignment. Next week we'll begin with registration and then begin Unit 4 later in the week. 

English 10

Today was our final day for the end of the quarter and the end of our third unit of study for the year. By the end of today's class the goal was to complete your presentation of your research and submit that assignment to be scored. There were a lot of absences today in class - so I hope that if you are at home, or wherever you may be, that you find the time to complete this work and get it submitted.

Follow the template to complete your task. Keep in mind that your evidence (from the text and the research) should be focused on the importance of your text. There's not a lot of writing in this project, it's more about putting the pieces together and showing the ideas to a viewer.

Our next unit is going to focus on Russia and Eastern Europe. I'm really excited to take you to this part of the world. There are a lot of great videos about Russia loaded in the folder if you'd like to take a look!
