Schedule for Week of 24 October:

NOTE: I realize that many of you are curious about your score on the test for Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of The Great Gatsby, unfortunately I was only able to scan the papers for "Test A" before receiving a message on the Lexmark Printer that the service had been lost. I will attempt the scanning process again early Monday morning-if unsuccessful, I will hand score your answer sheet. "No, I will not make any errors, Diedrich is accurate in all he does." I will say that there were quite a few students who scored from 80% to 100% on the test so far. Sadly, there were students who averaged only 9 questions correct. Should I input these grades into Jupiter for the "first-marking" period?

You do not have to bring your Language of Composition textbook to class this week, but you do have a homework assignment that is DUE on Thursday, 27 October.

What is the impact of gender roles that society creates and enforces?

For Thursday, 27 October: Read Professions for Women by Virginia Woolf beginning on page 356 of your textbook (This is one of my favorite essays/speeches.) You will then answer the Questions on Rhetoric and Style according to your last-name initial.

A-M will answer Questions 1-6
N-Z will answer Questions 7-12

Naturally, your responses will be answered in complete sentences. Kindly use 12pt font and New Times Roman. If you do hand write-it, which you should not-skip a space after each response.

Wait, there is another part to this assignment. You will complete Exercise 1 on page 424. Please skip a space after each sentence.

If you are absent, you know what to do...



Tuesday, 25 October: College NOW Visitations in all English 11 classes.

Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Preparation for your first-timed write for the Rhetorical Analysis Question on the AP Examination.

Wait-Wait-Wait-You do have another assignment-another assignment you do have (name that rhetorical device): Read Chapters 6, 7, and 8 for a Group Test on Friday, 28 October. I will ASSIGN the groups-you will NOT make-up the groups on your own.
