Heathcliff

Wow to first and seventh hour with their original, thorough team close reads of Mr. Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights! Throughout each section, you constructed characterization via dialogue, personification, enumeration, and the first person perspective of Mr. Lockwood, the nosy tenant wanting the scoop on his mysterious, black-eyed landlord. Ah, Heathcliff. Perfect excuse to plant a picture of Ralph Fiennes as Heathcliff.

Hey, AP Langers, you are a week into the Lucy assignment, which means if you are reading and logging a chapter a day, you are nearing your seventh chapter. If you have not checked out a book, you should do so immediately.

As for the Bird prompt, due dates differ according to your class. However, the rule are still the same: handwritten or typed in hard copy by the deadline. If you are in school at any point on that day, the essay is still due in hard copy by that time. If you are absent for the entirety of the day, you will e-mail/share/photograph your completed work and then bring in a hard copy for me the next day.

1: We started with Vocab Quiz 16, our last vocab unit for a couple of weeks as we wrap up rhetorical analysis and move into multiple choice. After going over punctuation and citation reminders, you received your Keats prompt. As mentioned in class, the majority of you have improved with analysis, but you still need to pay attention to the details so that you have no mechanical distractions in your writing. Next, you received the Bird prompt, your next 48 hour take-home prompt. Your deadline for this assignment is Friday, November 4, at 3:45 p.m. 

After all the above, we then did the team close read on The Wuthering Heights passage. Wowsa! For Friday, complete your individual body paragraph analyzing a strategy. We will finish the team essay that day and  move into the persuasive appeals.

3: After finishing our last vocab words, we completed our analysis of the Skylark and the Nightingale, noting the tone, diction, and other devices selected by the authors. Following the poetry work, I reminded you on how you need to use punctuation and citations correctly in your essays to avoid distractions. Remember, you want your content to be center stage and not your mechanical errors. With you next take home prompt, pay attention to your details and make sure you do not have any distractions that could downgrade your final score. The Bird prompt was assigned today with a deadline of Friday, November 4, at 3:45 p.m.

7: Fortunately, our dual drills did not take too much of our class time today. After four more vocabulary words, we spent the rest of the hour on our team close read of Wuthering Heights. As mentioned above, you rose to the challenge of connecting the characterization of setting and Mr. Heathcliff via Mr. Lockwood's first person narration. For Friday, make sure to complete your individual body paragraph for the prompt. If absent, you will need tow rite a thesis statement and then choose one strategy to focus upon in a body paragraph.

Your deadline for the Bird prompt is tomorrow, Thursday, November 2, at 3:45 p.m.
