High School Confidential

High School Confidential

Assignment: TBA

"Soon, Diedrich is going to ask us to place our loose-leaf binders in a container so he can give us a grade. He has observed several students on a daily basis-actually the SAME students- who have NOT entered his classroom with the required notebook-a BINDER! Diedrich wonders what these students have been doing with the "conveniently" hole-punched handouts...Furthermore, he will NOT permit anyone to go to his/her locker to retrieve it NOR will he accept the required class binder after the class or on the next day the class meets. I am sure glad that I have been bringing MY loose-leaf binder to class everyday-I certainly would not want to receive a "0"...for not following the requirements in AP English Language and Composition." 

Schedule for Week of 25 February:

A-B-& G Bands: Root Word Quiz #2 ("ced to dent") on Friday, 1 March.

Monday, 25 February: G-Band-No textbook required today. You will continue with the analysis of Swift's A Modest Proposal and then you will complete an assessment on this satire. Please bring all the informational handouts you will given, especially the text of this satire-you will need it for the assessment-do not ask for another.

I am not requiring you to bring your textbook to class this week BUT I am recommending that you take your text home this week since specific assignments will be given related to "Exploring the Text" and "Questions on Rhetoric and Style".

Please Note: The specific readings will be announced in class -and most likely,-the specific assignment will be due on the following day!

Please be patient: The process of evaluating your research paper is taking me longer than I had anticipated for several reasons. I am attempting to add comments other than those that are indicated on your paper. In addition, I am checking the "originality" report by turnitin-as long as you have documented your sources- there is NOT going to be a "problem". Also, the "paper" rubric you were given and/or shown prior to this assignment is more "generous" than the "Common Core" rubric that is on this program. Therefore, you will most likely receive two grades INTI ALLY-which ever grade is higher will be the grade that I will enter on Jupiter grades. For me, reading your assignment on my computer screen is taking me much longer than reading the hard-copy of this assignment. Since you exerted a considerable amount of effort completing this asignment, I will do the same in assessing your finished product.
