Dates

This blog will cover Wednesday and Thursday's AP Lang classes, which all involved the process of directing a bad date or the performance of those memorable excursions.

1: We began by sharing our descriptive paragraphs for the cafeteria/hallway to have a sense of the details, images, and figurative language that sculpts the perception and mood of a place. Following this, we finished up our 15 vocab words and reviewed tone words for the upcoming quiz. Then, you shared allusion poster #3 and heard more about mythological people, places, an things - all of which are related to the hubris of Zeus in some way, shape, or form. For the remainder of the hour, you worked on your minimum 20 step process analysis, which is to direct the reader on how to be a bad date. If you were absent, you will have 2 options for the process analysis assignment points. You may either jump into a skit for an absent person during Friday's class or you can write your own process analysis.

3: We started off with vocabulary and tone words in preparation for the upcoming quiz. At this point, you should be feeling much more confident about both sets of vernacular. Afterwards, we continued with your third allusion poster and then jumped into the process analysis directions for how to be a bad date, which we will perform on Friday.

4: Congratulations - not sure if that is the correct word here - on Sydney for winning worst date of fourth hour! Her fondness of "Single Ladies," her manic search for a missing earring, and her out of touch questions and thoughts make her the epitome of a bad date. After the entertaining spectacle of Axe cologne and Brad, we moved onto vocab, tone word review, and sharing your allusion posters. To round out the hour, you completed the Modest Proposal MC test from the minds of third hour. If absent, you will need to schedule a 40 minute makeup time within the next 48 hours.

7: After a plethora of bad dates, our winner, the most in need or rebuke, was Maddie with her forward pick-up lines for her date, her waitress, and a police officer. Congratulations on your new title of worst date? After we finished up the entertainment, we moved onto vocab, tone review, and sharing our allusion posters.
