AP Lit
A rushed class today due to our schedule, but we still got everything done! Go us! We worked a lot on oppression and then we also took a look at Melville to see how these oppressions are staring us right in our faces in the text. From there, we worked on our outlines as we received the new assignment for this unit.
For tonight you should continue to revise your college essay (if not yet resubmitted) as well as your outlines with a look at the new work we are doing. Use the template to make the thesis an argumentative statement. Explain how the characters are fighting this oppression. Explain and show!
We also have "Bartleby" to finish for Friday as well as our vocabulary cards. Remember to submit five by Friday!
AP Research
Most of our class was taken with our assessment. Remember to check your folders for comments on reflections and to complete any work that you may be missing. Remind me that it's ready by sending me an email. Tonight it's time to work on the ideas of our revised research questions. Work with the elements of an effective research question (we had those handouts last class) and be sure to write out your question! You'll need it for Friday.

Homework for B-Day Students - 16 September
AP Literature
Today we began really getting into the weeds as it applies to writing about literature. It's important to make sure that our thesis is always Debatable, Analytical, Defensible and Specific (it needs to have DADS). This gives us a lot of the tasks that we have to do in our explanation. Be sure to review our writing notes in the context of your outlines and the comments you were given. Begin to revise - but realize that we are using the outlines as the start of our major project work.
Additionally, for tonight you should be sure to continue working on college essays if these were not submitted today in class, reading the next section of "Bartleby" (to paragraph 166), and work on vocabulary cards. You have five cards from Melville due by the end of the week.

Today we had a big class as we understood the elements needed to move from little r to BIG R research. It's a good day in the neighborhood. At this time you should be actively reviewing your work to include all of the elements of an effective research question. Be sure to use the template to reform and refocus your problem statement. The BoK is essential in this - you need it for a lot of the revised problem statement.
Don't forget the second reflection in your PREP as well as the preparation for this week. We have a CRAAP quiz next class and speed dating for research questions on Friday!
