November 26-30, 2102

Welcome back from you holiday!

I hope you all are well-rested and ready for some learning! Let me get straight to the plans for this week:

Pre-APEnglish 10

We will be wrapping up our study of Julius Caesar this week (or at least that's the plan). Expect some multiple choice quizzes from Pearson from Acts 3-5.
Also, you will create your "Shakespeare in Six" presentations. This project will count as a test grade, so do your best.
Shakespeare-in-Six Directions:
• Use the format provided to create a six-part storyboard for one act of the play.
• Underneath each block, provide a quotation which supports your illustration.
• Your finished product should illustrate the main action of the act as a whole.
• On a separate piece of paper, type a rationale fully explaining your choices. For each block,
explain your illustration and the moment’s significance to the act. You should have two or three sentences for each panel/quotation.
• Present your project to the class.
I will provide blank story boards for your projects.

In addition to our Shakespeare study, we will have an allusion a day. In this way, we should be ready for our second allusions quiz by next week.

And as usual, you will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday. Study words from lesson 8.

English 12

This week we will continue our study of the Canterbury Tales. Expect a test on the prologue, the Wife of Bathe's Tale and the Pardoner's Tale this week. You will also fill out your descriptions of the pilgrims, which will also count as a grade. Don't forget to study for your vocabulary quiz on Friday on lesson eight. You'll also have daily allusions. Your second allusions quiz will be next week.

APEnglish Literature and Composition 12

This week, in addition to your allusions and vocabulary, you will read and discuss Othello. I will be assigning the film version on your Pearson page so you can see it acted out. I doubt, however, that we will have time to watch it in class. You may watch it on your own. Expect some grammar reviews and ancillary reading/discussion questions on your Pearson Lit Lab as well. There are five or six who have not yet enrolled in the course. You MUST do so. The instructions and codes are still on Edmodo, though you may have to do some searching.

Vocabulary quiz on Friday.
