AP English III
This weekend for homework you have a few things to read and consider as we start moving to the end of Kozol and into The Grapes of Wrath. I would like for you to read "On Compassion" by B.L. Ascher which is in 50 Essays or at this link. Read and annotate the piece closely: pay attention to her argument and the way in which she proves the argument to us as an audience. How does she appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos?
In addition, read over chapter twelve in Kozol as well as his Epilogue. For the Epilogue, look at it only as a conclusion - go to your notes on a conclusion and notice how he does what he needs to do over the course of several pages.
You'll be getting your outlines back next class - be ready to start revising!

Your homework for this weekend is the same as the A-day students below. Using your vocabulary bookmark select five words from our study so far and use them to write a short story (about 100 words) about someone borrowing money from another person. Try to include some conflict in the story because that always happens when people borrow money. When you turn in your story you will also turn in your vocabulary bookmark to get full credit!

Homework for B-Day Students: 2 September 2015
AP English III
Tonight for your homework you have two key things to accomplish. First, continue to revise and edit your outlines and especially pay attention to the refutation. Most of you left this out of your original outlines and as we discussed today, it is necessary. Find a place to include this and start to develop it.
In addition, complete your rereading and annotation of chapters eight and ten from Kozol. Continue to notice the way in which he is building and developing his argument as the text proceeds.

If you didn't finish your tone analysis work, make sure to turn that in at the beginning of next class!

Homework for B-Day Students - 31 August 2015
Happy Monday Everyone! We're back in the swing of things, and I'm especially excited about this week because it ends with my birthday! Here are your reminders for tonight to move you into Wednesday.
AP English III
Tonight you should all be working on two tasks which will move us forward into Wednesday. First, I want all of you to start to do the heavy lifting and work to revise your outlines - especially the thesis/argument statements since we focused on that today. Take a moment to look at what you have written: Most of you have given me only the defensible point that you are trying to make. Remember that this is only one part of the necessary argument structure. Follow the way we created Kozol's argument today and use that as a model to help you rework yours. Once this is done, the rest of the process will begin to fall into place.
In addition, reread and annotate chapters four and six of Kozol. Remember to apply what we are doing in class to your reexamination of the text. This is crucial as you begin to open your approach to reading texts such as these.
English II
There is no homework that you have to complete to turn in tonight unless, of course, you forgot to turn in the final draft of your paragraphs. Since some students have been added to the class late I'm giving everyone an additional day with no penalty to turn in these assignments. Make sure to submit both your first and second draft of the work to get full credit. See me or Ms. Ginocchio if you have any questions or need help.

Homework for the Weekend - B Day Students - 8/27/2015
I won't be seeing you all again until Monday, so here is what you need to accomplish leading up to then.
AP English III
Over the weekend I want you all to go back to Kozol and re-investigate him given what we discussed today about rhetoric and argumentation. Reread and annotate the introduction and chapter two of Shame of the Nation. I would suggest using a different color of ink to the one you looked at originally - that way both you and I will see how you have updated your approach to the text. Approach this the way we did Alexie today - How is Kozol manipulating the relationship between the topic/audience/himself? How do the rhetorical appeals impact his work and your understanding of it?
English II
This weekend you need to complete your final draft of your travel paragraph. You'll turn it in to me on Monday for your first grades of the course. Make sure that you also turn in your rough draft with the peer editing notes so that I can give you credit for that part of the assignment.
