First, I apologize for not writing the homework on this website before today.  I told everyone what the homework was on the Friday before the break, but I guess I needed to write it here as well.  

 

First, you really did not have much homework over the break--except to get ready for the ACT test on Tuesday (March 12, 2019) and to make sure you have completed reading all of The Crucible since it will be the focus of your mid-term exam and an essay assignment. 

 

You should have completed the two questions in the packet on Act IV of The Crucible for the Friday before the break.  On Friday, you were also given the essay assignment on the play; the entire essay will be due the Tuesday after exams (March 19, 2019). 

 

You were also given the argumentative writing assignment that will be written on Henrietta Lacks.  Hopefully, you have been keeping a double-entry journal that analyzes one quote for each chapter.  The entire book and double entry journal will be due on April 1st--and this is no joke.  Please use the same form for the double entry journal as shown in the packet on The Crucible--without stating who was saying the quote to whom.  The actual essay will be due on April 11th.  

 

I will be giving you specific due dates for the Chapters before April 1, so please continue reading several pages each evening.  

 

We will be ordering The Great Gatsby.  The cost for the book is $13.00--please pay with a check or turn in the exact amount.  I will begin picking up the fee the Monday after exams (March 18, 2019).  

 

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow--mid-term exams and ACT testing in one week--this is going to be fun. 

 

English III AP

 

Complete the two questions in the packet on Act IV of The Crucible.  Tomorrow, you will be given the essay assignment on the play.  You will also be given the argumentative writing assignment that will be written on Henrietta Lacks.   

 

We will also review some materials to get you ready for the ACT on the Tuesday we come back from the break.   If you have any questions about the English or Reading component of the ACT, please let me know tomorrow so I can address those during class. 

 

 

 

Complete and submit into Google Classroom the newspaper article #5 by 7:00 A.M. Thursday morning.

 

Review your vocabulary words; you have a TEST on Thursday on chapters 13-17.  You will not be able to use your cards, so be sure to study the words. 

 

Complete the three DE Journal Entries for Act IV of The Crucible.  Because I did not have time to grade your Act IV annotations today, please be sure to have the packets ready to be graded tomorrow.  

English III AP

 

Complete Act III for Monday.  You must read and annotate each page.  As you read this act, please look for different types of language that Miller uses for each character--and label those appropriately.  If you notice a logical fallacy, label it.  If you notice that imagery or motifs are used.  Label those.  Maybe you notice that connotative diction is used.  Label it.  I guess  you get the point, right.

 

Over the weekend, please look at your Timed Writing Assignment.  Highlight your thesis and examples of analysis that you find in your reading.  You would need 8-9 to have an A; 6-7 to have a B; 4-5 to have a C; 2-3 to have a D; 1 to have an F.  Then look for ways to improve your essay.  Make grammar and punctuation corrections.  Determine how you could improve the analysis.  Write these on the copies I returned to you today.  We will discuss these in class. 

 

Newspaper articles are going to be due on Wednesday.  I need to discuss with you what I want to see in the remaining articles.  Many of you are just picking articles that offer no opportunity to use your analytical skills--and while you are writing and explaining the connotative words, you fail to use them in your actual paragraphs.   

 

Have a great weekend.  See you on Monday! 

English III AP

 

Begin reading The Crucible Act III.  It is due on Monday, so be sure to start reading tonight.  You must have at least 3 annotations per page, so it should not take you long to complete the act.  

 

I also encourage you to be sure to complete the Logical Fallacies Packet, maybe even writing thesis statements #1 and #2.  I would also complete and bring to class the Character Analysis packet for Acts I and II. I might even write that thesis statement on the bottom of the page for your chosen character, just the one chosen character.  I also encourage you to complete the Strategies Graphic Organizer (it is number 3).  

 

However, I REALLY think that you might want to consider writing the Thesis below #4 Written Analysis.   You may have nothing but the thesis written on this page--no body paragraphs--nothing but the thesis.   

 

If you do the above, you should do well tomorrow.  

 

Sleep well, and I look forward to seeing you in class on Friday.
