Greetings Students!
This will be a short week, since Monday is a holiday. We still have much to do, though.
Below are this week's expected activities:
Pre APEnglish 10
We are still studying Julius Caesar, and some of you have already stumbled upon a major question that often is associated with the play: If Caesar dies in Act III, why does the play go on, and why is it named for Caesar when it seems he is actually a lesser character? Good question. We'll discuss it in class.
This week we will discuss the structure of Shakespearean tragedies, predict outcomes, and practice some multiple choice questions based on the play from the Laying the Foundations web site.
We will also, of course, have our weekly LTF SAT vocabulary quiz, so study lesson seven!
English 12
As part of our study of The Canterbury Tales, you have been assigned a group project. I will give you Tuesday in class to work on it. Remember I have posted links to help you understand Medieval beliefs about humours and physiognomy and a list of job descriptions of the pilgrims on Edmodo and in last week's blog. I'm really looking forward to your presentations on Wednesday and Thursday.
In addition to your presentations, we will continue reading the prologue. You will have a test in the coming weeks on the prologue and the two tales in your electronic text, "The Wife of Bathe's Tale" and "The Pardoner's Tale."
You will have a quiz on lesson seven vocabulary, so study!
APEnglish Literature and Composition
So much to do....so little time. This week you will have a guest speaker for career and college counseling visit on Tuesday. Wednesday-Thursday, you will read and discuss Othello. On Friday, I will be attending the Poetry Out Loud competition, so your quiz on lesson 59 vocabulary will be delayed until Monday. I will be leaving an essay assignment with the sub on Friday. It will be based on an excerpt from Othello and will be a character analysis.
Have a nice holiday on Monday! See you all in class!
Mrs. SO
