Welcome to our class! 

Update for the week of March 9-13:

Last week, we finished reading Inferno by Dante Alighieri. There was a quiz from the reading.

This week, there will be a second quiz on the text that we are reading. In addition to this, there will be a unit test on Wednesday, along with a Classwork grade on constructed responses for this unit.

We will begin a unit on Macbeth immediately following the test.

As a reminder, the CLT and the ACT will be given on Tuesday, March 10. Every student should be present on this day, as there will be no make-ups given.

Friday is a teacher workday. No school for students!

Update for the week of March 9-13:

Last week, we finished unit 4 in AP Classroom as we talked about how to use evidence to support a thesis as we build on claims, evidence, and reasoning. Students wrote their first full FRQ (Free Response Question) in class on Friday as practice for the upcoming AP exam in May. We also continued reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. There was a quiz on the novel.

This week, we are going to continue reading the novel. There will be a second quiz. Once we finish the novel, we will have a test.  We are also going to continue to explore unit 4 in AP Classroom as we dig down into making sure that we are being consistent with supporting our thesis throughout our FRQs on the AP English Language and Composition exam and our writing in general. We will also begin looking at unit 5. 

As a reminder, the CLT and the ACT will be given on Tuesday, March 10. Every student should be present on this day, as there will be no make-ups given.
