So, we’ll be talking a bit about the AP Final (grades are up). I’ll be hiding behind the podium.  We may need to talk about an alternative rhetorical analysis paper based on the Arts & Letters Daily site. I hope to get the Synthetic essays graded by Friday.

Then, we’ll read Act I, Scene 1 in class and talk a bit about it before starting the movie version of Hamlet.

HW:  Read the rest of the play.

We’ll start with WASL! We’ll look at the persuasive prompt first, prepare a little pre-write for it, check out the anchor papers, and then talk strategy. We’ll take a look at the expository prompt as well.

Then, we’ll see the Career speeches. Remember, 1-2 minutes and visuals.

Finally, we’ll talk about the first chapter of AQ. We’ll use this worksheet.

HW: Read chapter 2 in AQ (Be ready for a quiz on Monday)

As promised, we’ll hear from the hard-working and talented women from the Career center…But first…

Here are the details about the Job Shadow and Thank You Letter , due Feb 26th. The full career portfolio will also include a resume, cover letter and a short speech on your profession. All written work is due Feb 26th. Speeches will start March 3rd.
