Schedule for Week of 27 February:
SAT Vocabulary Quiz: List 17-ALL Bands-Friday, 2 March

Mini-Argumentative Research Paper ("Are Teenagers Today the Dumbest Generation Ever?"): Note-cards, Outline and the Works Cited page Due: Thursday, 1 March. Since you were directed to work on this assignment over the break (recall my instructions), you should probably have your rough draft written by now. Furthermore, I indicated that all of the resources required were posted on the class blog. I am particularly concerned with the correct MLA internal documentation -refer to links provided). I will provide assistance- if desired on Monday and Tuesday during 37 1/2 minutes-NOT on Wednesday-the day before the assignment is due.

We will continue working on the "Analysis" Question for the AP Language and Composition Examination. Specific homework assignments will be given as needed-what we do not complete in class will be given as homework.

TEST: Figurative and Rhetorical Devices on 9 March. You should be familiar with the definition-you will also be required to identify the example with the appropriate device/term. Please refer to additional links (see "Older Posts") for other "Quizlet" posts.

Depending on the availability of Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, we will visit Room 439 on Tuesday, 28 February to obtain a copy of this text-kindly remember to bring your ID card. Click on the title of this text to download and print your assignment-you may want to wait until Tuesday to do so-I must verify that we have the quantity for three classes.
