AP Language and Composition
In an attempt to create a community that is both safe and helpful when it comes to making our writing stronger, we edited the paragraphs that students wrote yesterday as a group. After group-editing two of the paragraphs , we spent the rest of class peer-editing the rest.
Homework: Students need to revise and re-write their rhetorical analysis paragraphs tonight. Tomorrow, in class, they need to turn in their first draft and their second draft to me as a grade.
Pre-AP English 9
After students took their reading quiz on the first ten chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird, we had a short parts of speech review using the first two chapters of the novel. Students NEED to make sure they can identify the eight parts of speech, which are as follows: noun, pronoun, adjective (including articles), adverb, verb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.
Homework: Students should complete the pre-reading worksheet for To Kill a Mockingbird that they received in class today. Students also need to begin reading chapters 11-21 in To Kill a Mockingbird. These chapters should be completed by Wednesday, September 4th.
Advanced English 9
After completing the first To Kill a Mockingbird reading quiz on chapters one through ten in the novel, students began working on a set of Likert Scales, meant to measure their opinions on twelve major issues that To Kill a Mockingbird addresses. We will use these to inform a debate that we will have tomorrow in class.
