Week of 3/30
I updated the Notes section of One Note in the Pride and Prejudice folder for this week's reading. You have to click on Notes in the Content Library to see the added notes. Check it out before (or as) you read! Monday 3/30: Read chapters 1,3,4,5 of Volume 2 (to page 156) for Tuesday. Post on Edmodo by Tuesday night. Please respond to one another. *I'm posting questions on One Note as a guide, but when I give Edmodo you don't have to answer the chapter questions UNLESS YOU WANT TO. Tuesday 3/31: WebEx at 12:30 for any questions, comments, concerns. Hope to see you there! A remind is being sent Tuesday morning to remind you that I'll be there! Read chapter 6 and answer questions by Tuesday night. Wednesday 4/1: Read chapters 7 & 8 and respond to Edmodo by Wednesday night. (I think some of you are going to like where this is going!) Thursday 4/2: Some novels and plays seem to advocate changes in social or political attitudes or in traditions. Choose such a novel or play and note briefly the particular attitudes or traditions that the author apparently wishes to modify. Then analyze the techniques the author uses to influence the reader’s or audience’s views. Avoid plot summary. (This prompt is also in the Open Question folder on One Note. Please type your response there). Write the opening paragraph and first body paragraph for this essay using Pride and Prejudice. Due by FRIDAY NIGHT along with Friday's reading. Friday 4/3: Read chapter 9 and answer the chapter questions. This assignment is now due on Monday to give people a chance to catch up!! Hope this helps! Week of 3/23 Before giving next week's work, I just want to say how proud I am of each of you for keeping up with the week's reading and for your fantastic posts. I really enjoyed reading them all and responded to each of you on one of the posts. I gave credit for BOTH posts. I would love to do that again this upcoming week and maybe have you all respond to each other's posts as well. I'll keep you posted!! In terms of the AP exam, as you know, the reading comprehension section is now off the table. We need to keep our focus on the essay questions. What will help you prepare? *reading Pride and Prejudice for real (cue my side eye here) *answering the questions about the book (they often mirror the types of questions you may encounter on the AP exam) *WRITING. I will let you know if/when they tell us WHICH essay they are going to give you. (Or maybe it'll be quick hit questions for all 3 parts?? We don't know yet!! Let's keep preparing for all 3 until we hear more!) Monday's work: Read chapters 20-21 and answer chapter questions on One Note. Tuesday's work: Read "Thou Blind Man's Mark" which is a poem in the poetry tab of One Note. Write an outline underneath the poem on One Note. (If you could type it, that makes my life so much easier and I really want to give feedback easily!) Thesis statement: What are you proving in the course of the entire essay? This must be argumentative. Topic sentence: What are you proving in paragraph 1? Topic sentence: What are you proving in paragraph 2? Topic sentence: What are you proving in paragraph 3? Closing sentence: Restates your thesis with different words. Wednesday's work: Read chapters 22&23 and respond to my posting on Edmodo. Thursday's work: Read the prose passage in the folder called "Prose Essay Practice". Write the opening and body 1. I prefer that this is typed on the same page as the prose passage please. **This is an update to this assignment: Instead of being due by tonight, I am making this assignment due TOMORROW NIGHT. Friday's work: We are now in Volume 2 of Pride and Prejudice. Read chapter 1, 3, 4 and 5 for Tuesday. Let's do an Edmodo response on Tuesday. I'll post that soon. I will also put the questions up on One Note for these chapters but I will make them OPTIONAL. I think people find them helpful if they are confused. I will make myself available for extra help on Tuesday at 12:30 via webex if anyone wants to pop in and ask questions about the reading. Or just pop by to say hello! It won't be a formal lesson, but I will be there waiting for anyone if anyone wants to ask questions or comment live or just talk about the book. YOU MUST POST ON EDMODO for this reading. I'll send the webex link (hopefully correctly) on Tuesday morning to remind you. You can skip chapter 2: Know this: Mrs. Bennet's brother and his wife show up. They are Mr and Mrs. Gardiner. They see that Jane is sad and invite her to go back to London with them. She's excited to go hoping that she'll bump into Bingley and get some kind of explanation out of him about why he left. They meet Wickham and Mrs. Gardiner reveals that before she was married, she spent time in Derbyshire which is where Darcy is from, so she knows a lot of the same people that Wickham knows ( remember he grew up in Darcy's house because his dad worked for him). She know of Darcy's dad and remembered hearing that Darcy was a brat when he was younger! **Some of you need to identify yourselves on Edmodo. I responded and told you if I can't see who you are. I want to make sure I give everyone credit for doing their work. Thanks!** Friday's work: due by Friday night
Please go to edmodo and join the correct class. I sent the codes on Remind, but here they are again: Period 1: h26gpj Period 7: uxw9np I am going to post TWO comments. One comment is about chapter 18 and one is about chapter 19. Please respond to BOTH comments. You should have strong opinions about what happens in these 2 chapters!!Feel free to respond to each other as well. In the future, I may request that you do, but for now I want to just get our feet wet. I don't think I need to say that all comments must be respectful and school appropriate, but I will anyway. See you on the message board! ****Check out the Notes tab in the Pride and Prejudice folder where I go over the questions you answered for chapters 15-17 and provide a little more feedback. If you have any questions about what you read, please reach out to me so that I can clarify.****
REMINDER THAT THURSDAY'S WORK IS CHAPTERS 18 & 19 DUE BY TONIGHT AND WILL BE CHECKED TOMORROW MORNING You are doing a great job keeping up with the work this week. I'm proud of you guys and hope you're keeping yourselves busy and staying safe!! I am setting up a message board for tomorrow as well. You will be asked to respond to me and to each other. More info coming shortly. In the meantime, just know that your next reading assignment will be due on Monday. Tomorrow's assignment will be to talk about the reading!! (I'll communicate more on this in a bit!) Tuesday's work: Please complete by tonight (Tuesday night) as I will be checking Wednesday morning Read chapters 16 & 17 (Pages 74-87) : Answer questions in One Note Wednesday's work: There is a reading comprehension assignment on AP Classroom. It says that because it is a secure exam, you may not be able to access it from all devices. From what I can see, if you use your ipads, it should work. If it doesn't, let me know and I will change the assignment. Thanks. Thursday's work: Chapters 18 & 19 will be due by Thursday night and will be checked on Friday morning Due on Monday, March 16th
Please read chapter 15 of Pride and Prejudice and answer questions on One Note. I think we also missed some questions from past chapters that you may want to go back and answer. You must also write a paragraph under the "Mr. Collins" tab on One Note in the P&P folder. I will be checking that the Monday work is done on Tuesday morning. I will also be giving completion grades and letting you know beforehand if any of the writing will count as quiz or test grades. (This will depend on how long we are off.) My point is, I will not grade anything you write as a quiz or test unless you know that will be the case beforehand. **This is only work for Monday. If you want to continue reading, please do so! You will be asked to read chapters 16 and 17 for Tuesday with the questions/assignment to follow. Pace yourselves but please keep up. I will keep you posted on when we will "meet" this week once it is determined by the district. In the meantime, stay safe and READ!! Friday 3/6:

You have these terms on that review sheet.) We will be reviewing syntax when we get back this week and that will also be something to study for the midterm. There will be reading comprehension and 3 paragraphs that you will write in response to 3 poems which is exactly what we've been doing in class this marking period.
