The Quest for Identity & Jingoism

1 & 3: We continued forward with our exemplification work by determining the best examples for belligerence (first hour only), dishonor, empathy, faith, and guilt. In all cases, we decided that it is best to not rely on the expected examples (Hitler) and look for surprises that may not be the norm. After this, you were placed into groups to brainstorm for these abstract nouns: identity & jingoism. Each group then selected either identity or jingoism, composed a team thesis statement, and assigned examples for paragraph writing that will be shared during Monday's class. If you were absent, you will select either identity or jingoism, brainstorm for examples, and choose one example to write a body paragraph.

4 & 7: After vocab and tone work, we settled in to talk more about the AP Lang exam and how it would behoove you to take this for a plethora of reasons. And, you had the chance to play with calculators and do math for the scoring worksheet! At the end of class, we discussed the last 2 weeks of the quarter with our 2 prompts and MC test plus the allusion walls scavenger hunt.
