March 2/3

I am happy to announce that a second hour student has submitted a t-shirt design. If your class would like a t-shirt to show off our AP Lang coterie, you need to submit via e-mail or hard copy to me a.s.a.p.  

1, 2, & 7: Today was the deadline for your 4 source pages and range configuration of examples. While I was discussing several various topics with the line, the remaining parties reviewed vocabulary for our upcoming quiz. This quiz will be quite brief, but it still requires you to prepare for its completion.

Next, Dickens, Atwood, Graff, Emerson, and Conrad groups presented the analysis of multiple choice passages. Remember, you should always close read, use process of elimination, and notice "except" when it occurs. Those simple tips -- along with all the other skills and strategies we have discussed in previous classes -- will help you exponentially.

The remainder of the class was the "intense" (borrowed diction from Lucas) Allusion Quest, a class-wide challenge to identify 300 allusions. If absent for this activity and currently in a second hour study hall, you are welcome to join second hour tomorrow to complete the activity. Any remaining absentees will have 2 options next week to make up the Quest. Exact day/time will TBD. 

Don't forget to have your first draft ready for Friday's peer editing.

4: The majority of our class revolved around peer editing our research essays. I quite enjoyed my group experience -- thanks Anna, Kaitlyn, and Lyle for letting me part of your group :) We wrapped up the hour tallying up vocabulary in place of an official quiz. Tone Quest tomorrow -- we may review first if time permits.
