AP English III
Today we did a lot! We got through Act I of The Crucible, we set up our annotations for the text on our covers, and we started to work through the final project in this unit. I've put the contract, link to the instructions, and the slides from today's class in the Google Classroom page. Take a look.
For tonight, you need to focus on your vocabulary and your reading. First, vocabulary. Complete your next set of FIVE vocabulary cards and turn them in! Be sure that you apply your feedback from the last round to these. Your words should come from Miller, Edwards, Solzhenitsyn, or any other documents we have given you.
Next, reading. We'll be looking at Act II on Thursday the 11th. And you should be at the point in Denisovich where he is going out to work from the camp.
The main reading for next class is Mary Rowlandson's "Narrative of the Captivity". As you read, remember that you are looking at a primary source. Consider how Rowlandson views herself as a woman, her views of the Native Americans she is with, and how this text reinforces what we already know about Puritan society. Always remember the RHETORICAL TRIANGLE as you read - she has a very specific audience in mind.
English IV
We are really working intensely on our "This I Believe" essays and you're getting consistent feedback. Be sure that you are reflecting on your feedback and applying our lessons in grammar and writing in order to make your draft stronger. By the end of next class, most everyone should have a complete draft!
DON'T FORGET YOUR PERMISSION SLIPS!

B Day Homework for January 3rd
Welcome back from the break! I hope we all have a great start to 2017.
AP English III
You have many assessments coming up in the next two weeks. Be sure to stay on top of them or your grade will start falling fast, and you don't want to do everything the night before it's due.
On Thursday, we have our exam on The Crucible. Don't forget to bring your copy of the play for the annotation check. We're not taking late books this time.
Part 1 will be character identifications (you choose four out of a list), where you say who the character is, their importance to the plot and to the allegory/Miller's argument. You need to cite specific scenes/moments in the play.
Part 2 will be the same as Part 1, except you'll be writing about the character you tracked.
Part 3 are short essays (one sentence argument followed by two or more well-developed body paragraphs and a short conclusion). The essay questions will cover our discussion of The Crucible film, the character of John Proctor, and Mary Rowlandson.
We'll be working on our allegory plays in class after the test, and you'll be presenting them on Monday.
On Wednesday, your drama projects are due. This means delivering your monologue and turning in your rhetorical analysis and as well as your annotated monologue. We're giving you an whole extra week so you can have writing conferences with us--use it!
English II
Remember to review your notes and read parts of Persepolis you may have missed in class. The test is coming up in two class periods. Don't forget you can do the extra credit project to help with your test grade.
Next class, we'll be doing a review game for the test and working on our narratives. If you are behind on the narratives, work on them at home.

Homework for B-Day Students - 13 December 2016
AP English III
For tonight you are reading one of my favorite pieces from the Colonial period - "A Brief Narrative on the Captivity of Mary Rowlandson." Read the piece carefully and annotate. It's a good one for shedding light on the ins and outs of Puritan culture and their views on morality.
For Monday we have Act III - continue following the trends that you've been discovering in the text and keep annotating and reading. If you're in 3B then read extra carefully since your luck is really crappy.

No real homework tonight. If you've missed earlier chapters on Persepolis then make sure that you're all caught up. If you haven't yet turned in your essay, it's due on Thursday.
