Greetings Sophomores!
I hope you had a pleasant weekend and are ready to tackle the new week. You all have your Amistad assignment by now, and I will talk to you more about what I expect in class. I will be creating a place to upload your essays on Moodle. Uploads will be due on Monday, Nov. 14. On our first class day, I will distribute your vocabulary for this week. You will take the quiz on these words on Monday and Tuesday of next, since Wednesday is the Plan Test, and Friday is a holiday. Please bring your textbooks so we can continue our study of early colonial literature, including captivity narratives. Any texts we do not complete in class will be homework reading, so let's not digress.
We will also be reviewing grammar rules for using commas, colons and semicolons. We have so much to do!
See you in class!

ENGLISH 12: November 7-11
Hello Seniors!
Another week has passed and we are nearer to graduation! I intend for you to learn as much as possible between now and then. This week we meet twice, and I would like us to make the most of that time together.
On Monday we will review lesson 11 vocabulary. You will have a quiz at the beginning of class on Thursday. We will also review the ballad as a poetic form and look at several ballads from your texts from the Medieval period. Expect a test on the literature from the Medieval period next week.
As you know, Thursday your Pilgrim's Presentations are due. I hope each group has had fun in planning and that your presentations will prove both entertaining and informative.
See you in class!

Hello Sophomores!
This is an A week, so we only meet twice. On Tuesday, we will share the narratives we have written. Be SURE to upload your completed narrative to Moodle. I will leave the assignment open for submissions for one more week, then I will no longer accept them. Do not come to me at the end of the quarter and ask to turn in this assignment. I will grade your essays and leave feedback on Moodle.
On Friday I will not be here. I have a workshop to attend. You will complete the film Amistad and do grammar exercises to practice you colon and semicolon use. Your substitute will give you a handout on your writing assignment for the film, and I will review specifics and answer questions next week.
See you in class!

APENGLISH 12: October 30-November 4
Welcome to another week, APEs!
This is an A week, so we meet only twice. On Tuesday you will participate in peer evaluations of your college entrance essays. Be sure to upload the final essay by Monday to Moodle. We will continue with our reading of Othello after peer evaluations. I will give you the novel Atonement to read outside of class. This novel, like all we read, will require a major works data sheet, and we will also write an open ended essay on it, so do actually read it.
I will not be here Friday, since I have an AP workshop. I will be leaving an in class essay on a segment of Othello for you. Alternately, I may give you the opportunity to work on your Othello MWDS in class.
See you in class!

Greetings Jr. APEs!
I hope you have your narratives ready, because we will share them the first day of class this week. I can hardly wait to hear your stories!
We will have a quiz on lesson 8 vocabulary on Monday and Tuesday of next week. I will give you your handouts in class this week.
We will finish or begin, depending on your schedule, the film Amistad. Any student whose parent did not sign the permission form will complete the alternate assignment I have given you. the rest will write a paper based on the film. We will discuss organization of the paper in class.
We will also review comma rules and rules for semicolons this week. I will be at a workshop on Friday, so I will leave exercises on these rules for you with my substitute. I will also expect you to complete reading Mary Rowlandson's Narrative of the Captivty and Olaudah Equiano's Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano by next week. Any of these texts we do not finish in class will be assigned for homework.
As usual, we have a lot to do.
