Homework: 12/17

For this evening, you should read the next 6 pages of the book. Please come in tomorrow with at least 3 discussion points or questions you wish to address in small groups. We will also work on the essay in class, as I enjoy having a chance to see your work while still in the process. It helps me work individually with students and provide some guidance for your writing. 

We will work on the essays for one more day in class, then you will complete them at home and turn them in. 

The next four days look something like this:

Reading for homework. At 6 pages per night (including weekends) I am estimating that we finish the book by Next Tuesday. 

We will do another essay on Friday. A close reading of passage 2 and that will be do on Monday, 12/22. 

In thinking about the independent reading assignment, I would really like to assign another book over the holiday break. I was thinking that we would be reading two books if we were in class during that time anyway, and being off gives us additional time to read and write. I'm sure that as students in an AP Lit class, you feel the same way. If that means we need to adjust the I.R due dates, I can live with that. I will get some feedback tomorrow. 

Have a good night.
