Plan accordingly, do not wait until the last minute!
NO EXCUSES FOR FAILING TO UPLOAD BY 11;59 PM ON THE DATE INDICATED/PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME A NOTE FROM A PARENT EXCUSING YOU SINCE I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT!
NOTE: Too many of you are NOT referencing specific Rhetorical Devices in your passages/text selected; I am seeing too many basic literary devices identified with a minimal discussion/analysis.
Effective immediately, we will no longer be "listening" to the audio of the text. In addition, you will be administered quizzes for the assigned chapters on the dates indicated above. We will also allocated class time for other activities related to AP Language and Composition course content.
Failure to bring your copy of The Great Gatsby to class will result in a "0" for being unprepared for the class (consider it a "homework" assignment). DO NOT ASK TO GO TO YOUR LOCKER TO RETRIEVE IT/DO NOT RETURN FROM THE "RESTROOM" WITH YOUR TEXT IN YOUR HAND.
