All hours are in the midst of preparations for your verbal rhetorical analysis presentations, and from what I've heard, there's a great deal of strategies, purpose, and possible creative hooks abounding in Room 404.
As a "teacherly" reminder, barring an emergency, you need to be in class for any remaining preparations, the actual presentations, and as an audience member while your classmates share their perspectives. Putting off an assignment only makes it more difficult and less "pizzazzy" than it would be in the first place.
1: We had an all hour prep today, which means vocab and any other matters were tabled for you to have time with your partner. On Monday, we will start class with figuring out the presentation order (which means you will have a few minutes to confer with your partner) and then presentations will begin. Most likely, these presentations will move into Tuesday's class. Tuesday will also offer the vocab review and the vocab quiz.
3: After another drill, we finished up our vocab words to stands at 15 for unit 2, groups were formed and passages selected for the verbal rhetorical analysis, and you had some quality time to start prepping your strategies, purposes, and plots for presenting. On Monday, we will have a vocab review, the determination of presentation order, and then the last in-class day of preparation. Tuesday will be dedicated to your presentations. I am hoping that all of these will be finished Tuesday - or we may have to adjust the schedule slightly. If we finish presentation on Tuesday, then we will also have the vocab quiz as well.
5: After our vocab review - with a few rhetorical strategies and modes of discourse thrown in for good measure - we determined our order of presentation, with the hope of finishing the majority on Monday and leaving extras for Tuesday. The remainder of the time was for prepping, so your hour should have a strong grasp on your plot for your verbal rhetorical analysis. Vocab quiz will be Tuesday after the presentations have been completed.
And, for everyone involved, as noted on the board, after notes on your first diagnostic prompt and all the samples and practices in class, it is time to see how you do with a timed diagnostic prompt, or exactly what you will face on the AP exam. This will, if all goes as planned, on Thursday for all classes.
