Please Note: I will "gladly" assist you with any assignment prior to the due date. However, once that assignment is turned-in, I will NOT permit you to revise that assignment during 37.5 minutes tutoring session in order for you to improve your grade. To put it simply, "NO DO-OVERS!" You had that opportunity prior to the submission of the assignment.
Amazingly, several students are NOT completing the homework assignments-you have ample opportunity and time to do so. Do not place a past-due assignment in any folder on my desk! Furthermore, I am disappointed with the quality of the assignments being submitted-you are in an AP class- so naturally- I expect college-level work!
Dear Parents: A grade of an "85" is a "good" grade to receive in an Advanced Placement class! This is NOT a "regular/general" English class-adjustments can be made if your child receives a "4" or a "5" on the AP exam-but for now-commend your child for receiving an "85".

Reminder:
If you are absent on a day when an assignment is due, you are required to email me that assignment on the day it is due (not later that day) and then upon your return-as you enter the classroom-you are to hand me a "hard" copy of that assignment. Do not attempt to place an overdue assignment in your class folder on my desk. Recall-I DO NOT ACCEPT PAST-DUE ASSIGNMENTS-HOWEVER, FOR THIS MARKING PERIOD ONLY-I WILL PERMIT YOU TO MAKE-UP A MISSED QUOTATION/PARAGRAPH ASSIGNMENT DURING 371/2 MINUTES ONLY-UNDER MY SUPERVISION-IT MUST BE WRITTEN AT THAT TIME.
In addition, if you are absent on a day an SAT Vocabulary Quiz is given-you will only be given two days to make-up that quiz.

Realizing that many of you are eager to get started reading the sources I have provided for the writing of your research paper on "Defining Femininity", I will "simply" your task by informing you of a "strategy" that will offer assistance in the writing of your thesis statement.
To develop a working thesis or hypothesis, read at least six to eight sources (8-10 will be required sources to list in your Works Cited Page) to examine the argument(s) inherent in each text (source) so that you can refine your idea so that your paper will have a clear focus on Gender Roles: Defining Femininity. Next, you must then locate sources which share your argument/thesis that you have identified-using the sources that I have generated.
Annotations of Trends CHART
(Use this as you read your sources...)
A Tip from Diedrich: Turn the turn the chart "vertically" (the text will now be near your right=hand) to record the information listed under the column headed "Which SOURCE(S)...".
