Today is a late post, but really I just need to give an update on where we stand. You should all have read chapters 10,11 in the text and completed the close reading. If you don't get to complete the close reading, I will give some time in class tomorrow. The final part of your independent reading assignment is due tomorrow. That includes your typed passage and multiple choice questions. Some of you are falling behind and really need to get caught up - quickly. I don't need to remind you that this is an AP class. While I will try to reasonably accommodate your temporary negligence, it is important to keep up with all assigned work and adhere to the due dates. If this seems like an insurmountable task, then we need to have a discussion as to why. I will suspend much of the outside work for this week (except reading) to let you all complete your college application requirements. In fact, let me further extend the short story due date to Monday, 11/17 (I'm not sure, but we may have already decided this) to relieve some additional pressure.
This week I will begin to schedule writing conferences to discuss your writing. The first meeting will be an informal conversation and a brief discussion about goals. We will then follow up with a more formal discussion about your strengths and weaknesses. The conferences will begin next week.
Sadly, "Tale of Two Cities," is closing today. Sorry we did not get to see it. I will try to plan something for us at a later date.
