APEnglish (APE) 12: Aug. 22-26

Greetings APEs!

I hope you had a restful weekend. We have tons to do this week, so I'll forgo the chit-chat and get right to the tasks that lie ahead for this week.

You should have already either turned in or uploaded your Major Works Data Sheets for your summer reading. If you were a late arrival to my class, you may still upload these without penalty. If you have known about them since last year when I visited Ms. Elliott's class to show you the assignment, you may still turn them in with  a late penalty.

This week we will complete the HtRLLaP discussion and write our first analytical essay. The essay assignment is in the HtRLLaP book. This will be a take-home assignment, so it will be subject to the Kiss of Death. I will explain this in class, but you may check the link on my sidebar for more information.

Should we finish these tasks and still have time, be prepared for a short-story marathon/boot camp. We will read several stories for discussion in each class for the two weeks ahead, then write an analytical essay.

And of course, we will look at a poem each day from the Poetry Out Loud web site. Poetry recitation is the last week of September.

Don't forget to study your B and C words for a vocabulary quiz on Friday.

See you in class!

Mrs. SO
