15 December - Happy Break, Grey Day Students!

English 10

A solid day in English 10, even with the cold rain and lack of a school cancellation. We focused on Part Two of "The Overcoat" and looked at the coat itself. It's important that we notice the changes that come with the coat. I was also happy to see your attention to details as you looked at the text and considered their importance to the overall text. This story is all about Akaky, what happens to him, and how he reacts to that. I'm excited to take you through the end of the story when we return.

When we return we'll be working on our final essay for this unit. We'll also get started with our next unit focused on research skills. I wish you a happy and restful break. If you weren't in class today, be sure to review the recording and complete the Zoom test. 

March 26 - Zoom Lessons/Recordings and General Information

Happy Thursday Everyone! Though do the days of the week really mean much to anyone anymore? Today I posted recordings on Google Classroom for each of the groups. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns related to any of this.

Remember that I'm available from 1-3 PM for Office Hours. We can review this work or just chat about anything you'd like.

AP English Literature: Today we took a look at the poem posted by College Board and the writing task. We did some close reading and analysis to really deal with how elements of a poem's structure are connected to meaning. Tomorrow we'll take a look at some of the materials posted for today as well as other feedback related to AP Classroom assignments.

AP Research: Today we built two calendars and discussed what a final assessment may look like given that there are no more PODs. One calendar is for those who aren't really affected by the school closure/national shutdown; the other is for those on the other side of that line. Please keep in mind that we still have working days in our calendar where you can conference and ask questions.

Russian Language: We discussed the main usages for nominative, genitive, and prepositional cases as well as some new/review vocabulary. A lot of what we're doing is just reviewing and reinforcing the basics. Tomorrow we'll go over the other cases. Remember that you have access to DuoLingo for free and you can join our class so that you can do focused lessons. Ask for the code if you need it.
