Helpful Suggestion - AP English

This weekend gives you a great opportunity to get a lot of work done on your projects. I would highly suggest that at this point you have a clear plan as to what your work will look like. It would be great to have a written draft which incorporates, clearly, all of your information and sources. If you're planning something like a presentation/speech/podcast then you may want to run through it and record yourself to see where hiccoughs may be.

I would also be sure that I had a complete bibliography/works cited page at this point. I'm available next week for conferences about your work.

Homework for B-Day Students: 29 January 2015

This is really your homework for the weekend since I won't be seeing you all again until Monday.

AP English III

This is a very rare day where you don't have any homework, really, over the weekend.  For the weekend make sure that you have a copy of Ellison's Invisible Man for class on Monday.  We will likely begin the text with a bit of context before we actually jump into the reading of the text.

I want to take a moment to remind you all that this is a very complex and strenuous text.  You would all do well to start your reading and annotating of the text this weekend so that you are ahead when Ms. Alley gives you the reading schedule for the whole text.

English II

If you did not finish your one paragraph response on the ending of "A Problem" and Sasha's realization at the end of the story then this is due for all of you on Monday.  Make sure to follow good writing rules and formatting as stated in the outline.  Remember to clearly explain everything and use details from the text to help clarify your ideas.

Homework for the Weekend - A Day Students

I believe that I posted this yesterday, but just to make sure that we're all clear.

AP English III

This weekend you need to make sure to acquire your copy of Invisible Man - remember that I prefer you get the red and white cover or the green cover so that we will have matching page numbers.  We won't start our reading of this book for a week or so, but I do recommend that you start reading it now to get ahead.  This book will challenge you due to its post-modern style and type of narration.  It's not like Huck Finn where you have the language issues of understanding, it's just confusingly written.  Struggle and get through it and remember, Ellison is confusing you on purpose.  Think about why he would confuse you and how this perhaps relates to the experiences of the narrator and Black society as a whole.

Russian I

Over the weekend you should study your new vocabulary as well as the adjectives from chapter two.  Focus this weekend on your verbs, nouns, and adjectives.  We'll be working with those next week.  Be sure that you come in to class on Wednesday/Thursday with your study aid of choice for vocabulary.
