Pre-AP
Students took part 1 of the To Kill a Mockingbird Unit Test today (the essay portion). They will take the short answer and fill-in-the-blank portion of the test tomorrow. Students need to continue to study the subjects mentioned in the "Homework" section of the blog below in preparation for the next section of the test.
Homework: Students need to view Martin Luther King Jr.'s complete "I Have a Dream Speech" (can be found by going to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UV1fs8lAbg&feature=related ) and go through the manuscript provided in class. Students need to underline every example of allusion they find in the manuscript and circle every example of figurative language they find. This must be finished by Friday, April 13th.
Students need to review To Kill a Mockingbird and all notes taken during our study of the novel. The Unit Test will begin on Wednesday, April 11th and will cover all Words of the Day, subject-verb agreement, verb moods (indicative, imperative, and subjunctive), troublesome verbs, irregular verbs, capitalization, all Harper Lee and Scottsboro Boys notes, and everything related to the novel itself.
Also, if students have not already procured a copy of William Golding's Lord of the Flies, they should do so by April 23rd.
AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we finished our discussion of the Greek Pantheon and related it to a short story entitled, "The Lottery," which we also analyzed by identifying organizational structure and allusion.
