Time for the earnest part of the blog: we are currently at mid-term, the time when tone phases out into pathos, the Lucy Logs enter phase two, the advent of argumentation about to return to your writing assignments. With that in mind, some of you are experience a bit of a regression - not in ability, but in turning in your work and preparing for class. As this is a college class, supported by UMSL, MOBAP, and the College Board, you are expected to complete higher-level work, put effort into your writings and projects, and continue to participate in our activities. If you are one of those who has not put in the effort that you could be at this point, you don't have to fear - we have quite a bit of work on the docket that can balance out any previous faults. That work includes a team box prompt (tomorrow, probably), a group rhetorical appeals presentation, and 2 argumentative essays. While the past is set, the present and future is not, so actively take a role in improving your work and your participation in AP Lang.
Phew - let's return to the fun stuff - wait, did I just set up Shelley as fun? In all hours, we completed our paraphrases, tone identification, and rhetorical strategy notes on "To a Skylark." During tomorrow's class, you will be doing the exact same with "Ode to a Nightingale." If absent, prep stanza 8 of the text for your participation.
