In first, third, and seventh hour, we wrapped up our king and queen speeches with George III, Edward VIII, George VI, and Elizabeth II. At this point, you have quite a variety of texts - speeches and poems - that reveal a great deal about the monarchs and their ideals, inner feelings, and motivations. Fourth hour, we made it through George VI and will wrap up Elizabeth's speeches after our break.
In the meanwhile, you have the prompt for these speeches. While you are not officially assigned this prompt YET, I highly suggest you start working on notes, organization, and content of the essay. The official assignment will happen on Wednesday.
Wednesday's class will wrap up the kings and queens synthesis work, feature the return and analysis of your synthesis diagnostic prompt, and review the components of the AP exam. Now that we have finished all of the AP skills, we will have the first practice exam starting next Thursday.
