Close Reading on the Board!

Just a reminder for all AP Lang students, you should be checking the blog daily (if absent) and on a weekly basis (if not absent) to make sure you do not miss out on review information or bonus content. If you are absent and need a copy of the assignment, you should e-mail for the work and be ready to go when you return to class.

1 & 7: First on the docket, you completed the vocabulary quiz for unit 12. To continue with vocabulary, you then copied down the words and definitions for unit 13 and received your vocab expert assignment. Next up, you had your second rhetorical toolbox quiz. To round out the hour, we used a prompt and a passage to practice close reading skills. For homework, you are to write a scintillating introduction for the Capote prompt. We will use this on Friday for peer evaluation! And don't worry, we are not finished with the Capote prompt yet - more to come next time.

*Any student missing the quizzes will need to make up the work by Friday.

3: We started vocab unit 13 -- or the unit with harlequin and cataract oddly included in its vernacular -- and then finished discussing the rangefinders. After adding to our diction and AP grading skills, we spent the rest of the hour practicing prompt and close reading skills on the board! For homework, you are to write a scintillating introduction for the Capote prompt.
