I hope everyone remained safe during the storm outbreak last night.
Pre-AP
In today's class, we discussed verbals and how to identify them and use them in our writing. Students were also given an essay assignment that can be found in the "Homework" section before. Then, we began our study of Act IV of Romeo and Juliet.
Homework: Students need to finish Act IV of Romeo and Juliet in preparation for a test tomorrow (Tuesday, January 24th). Students also need to finish reading Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes and may begin on their essays. The essay prompt is: "Write a comparitive analysis describing the similarities and differences of Romeo and Moby, with particular emphasis on their relationship with their prospective heroine." Essays will be due Monday, January 30th. Remember, the essay must be typed, with size twelve font (Times New Roman or Calibri only), one-inch margins, double spaced, and must follow all rules of formal grammar that have been discussed in class. Its format must also be in the correct MLA style. Any papers not following this format will receive an automatic zero.
