AP Literature
Our main task for the weekend is to complete the Poetry Critical Analysis assignment. These are due on Monday. You can submit your work electronically or on hard copy (or you can do both if needed). Remember that you must have two citations for this - the poem itself and the criticism. Both will be cited in your analysis.
Be sure to apply notes and feedback from your timed poetry writing to the work that you are doing this weekend. Remember that poems, like stories, have beginnings, middles, and ends. Showing how ideas develop across beginnings, middles, and ends will often allow you to construct a much more thorough analysis. No more than 500 words please!
AP Research
Today was a day like many other - a day for working and completing the goals we have ahead of us. I hope that you are using these days and this protected time to complete the steps in your method, analyze the data you're collecting, and then organize it to make sure it answers your question.
If you haven't yet finished the BOK Analysis it needs to be done and checked on Monday. Completing this assignment will lead you to both Reflections 18 and 19. Complete these only after you've completed and received a score on the analysis assignment.
Remember that you should be working in Research Records, Weekly Work, Assessment Task Drafts, and Records of Communication. Document all of your work in your PREP Folder as you are completing and working through

2/6/2020 Early Release - Weather - Weekend Homework - B Day
AP Research
We didn't have class today with the early release due to weather. Don't fear! Keep working at home! Come in on Monday with data collected and drafting done! It will help a lot. We'll make sure that we are ready to keep moving forward then.
AP Lit
Today in class we finished Act I of Twelfth Night. It was a day to go back to London and see the professionals on stage. I am glad that you're getting the humor more as you are watching the play. Shakespeare always makes more sense the more you work with him.
For tonight and the weekend be sure to work on your Poetry Analysis project. Remember that you are heavily annotating the selected poem and then you will write a 500 word analysis that uses a critic to support your interpretation. Come in on Thursday with a draft of this essay - you'll have time to work in class on peer review. Monday will be a day to review Act I and prepare for our assessment. If you haven't started your vocabulary cards yet - be sure to - they are due by Thursday!

Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 16 March 2018
English IV
Today in class we did two major things - we completed the drafting of our introduction paragraphs and then we discussed one of the major themes of Frankenstein through a look at an episode of The Twilight Zone called "Eye of the Beholder". The ideas of the episode, particularly around what society considers to be beautiful or ugly have clear connections to what Shelley is working through with The Creature.
We'll continue to have these conversations and do more of this important thinking on Tuesday and Thursday as we prepare for our Frankenstein exam which will occur on Monday the 26th.
AP English III
Today in class we spent our time working on literary criticism in our motif groups. The main thing that we were doing today was understanding the way in which literary criticism can be useful in understanding complex literature. Hopefully, as you worked through one critical article, you were able to see clear connections to the ideas of your motif. This should be the basis of your latest motif blog post. Some of you were able to complete this today in class - if not, be sure that you have dealt with this post before moving on to the others.
For the weekend we have the reading of Chapters 13-15 in Invisible Man. Pay attention to how TIM falls into the same traps as he has before. What's different now? What's the same? Why do we get it, but he doesn't? This will start to push us into the final section of this novel where TIM has some of his final struggles and his big breakthrough at the end. Don't forget to keep blogging and completing your vocabulary as you go.
Lastly, be making progress with your papers. We have conferences through next week. Everyone is required to attend one conference and then in the days before the paper is due you can come back for final drop-in conferences.
