Periods 2&4: Freshmen
We began the period with SSR, then transitioned into more Author Study presentations. We finished the period writing the 9th Grade Diagnostic Narrative. We will be moving on to the Reading Self and Society unit beginning next week.
Period 8: AP Lit.
Today we took Vocabulary Quiz #1. Then, after a brief look at the AP scoring guide, students began to look at some sample essays from this year's AP Test. For homework, students are to score each sample essay and be prepared to discuss on Tuesday. As well, each student should look over their own essay and score it, including a rationale. Finally, we ended class with a beginning discussion about Raymond Carver's "Cathedral." It was a good beginning effort, but next time we need a little more participation. You don't have to be shy. I promise everyone will be nice to you. Honestly.
