Pre-AP English
In today's class we talked about several things. First, in our grammar starter, we discussed figurative language such as metaphors, similes, and hyperbole. Then, we went over notes about Harper Lee and how her early life influenced the events of To Kill a Mockingbird. Finally, we ended the class by conducting a close-reading on chapter 8 of TKAM.
The prezi presentation about Harper Lee can be found by clicking here.
Homework: Review the "white pages" and begin memorizing the terms found on them. (I should have an electronic copy of these posted on the blog this week. All students should have a hard copy of them as well.) Begin reading further in TKAM. Students will have a quiz on chapters 8-11 on Friday.
AHSGE Reading Review
Today we started the class by taking a test on main ideas, supporting details, and summaries. Then, we began our unit on propaganda, a student-favorite. For the rest of the week, we will be reviewing and referring to the notes that we start today. The notes, partially filled in, can be found below. The PowerPoint presentations that we will be using to fill in the rest of the notes can also be found below.
We will have a test on propaganda on Friday of this week.
