APENGLISH 12: October 11-14

Greetings Senior APEs!

I hope you all had a restful and relaxing holiday. I'm looking forward to being back in class with you. We have a long short week, meaning we meet three days in spite of the day off, and we have lots to do to fill those days.

I have posted your short story writing assignment on my Moodle page as well as a place to upload your MWDS for Mrs. Dalloway. Both of these assignments are due next week. The MWDS is due the 21, and the paper is due the 20th; however, the rough draft, which I expect you to bring to class in triplicate, is due on Tuesday October 18.  You will be doing a peer review activity on the paper. Remember that MWDSheets are NOT group work. You must turn in your own work, not a shared paper.

Expect a class discussion of Mrs. Dalloway in the coming days, and be prepared to write and in-class timed essay on the novel, probably Friday of this week.

Next week, we will briefly delve back into poetry. You will write your first comparative poetry essay. 

Also, don't forget vocabulary study. You will have a quiz on the I words this week.

I am required to turn in an accurate count for those who plan to take the mock exam in January. This exam will take place the first Saturday after the winter break. I encourage you all to take the exam because the feedback will tell you your areas of weakness and give me a better idea of what I need of where I need to focus my teaching.
