You will not need to bring the textbook to class this week. Kindly bring to class The Great Gatsby on Wednesday, 8 December for collection.
Do not forget about the assignment due on Wednesday, 8 December (see below). As soon as you enter the classroom, you will place it in the class folder-DO NOT GIVE ME ANY EXCUSES ABOUT NOT HAVING IT DONE AND DO NOT ASK TO TURN-IT IN LATER IN THE DAY. (Locate a printer prior to Wednesday.)
FYI- Class averages for the group test on Chapters 7, 8, and 9:
A Band: 68
B Band: 83.8
D Band: 71
On Monday and Tuesday of this week, we will examine the "revised" NYS English Regents. (A Reminder-Exam date-Tuesday, 11 January-8:45)
On Wednesday, we will engage in a rhetorical analysis of a historical document (speech).
On Thursday, you will complete a Timed Write involving a rhetorical analysis of an excerpt from a memoir.
On Friday, we will continue the rhetorical analysis from Wednesday. For the "second" half of class, we will review Parts of Speech. I have noticed that too many of you are missing questions that ask about POS.
