Wrap Up Activity/Test |
Wrap Up Activity/Test |
The second quarter extends from October 27 to two weeks after Christmas
Break.
During this quarter, you will read two full length works and we will
also begin serious practicing with AP-style multiple choice and essay
questions. After reviewing last quarter, I have decided to make the following
choices:
-
You will complete only six Outlooks this
quarter. They must be from six different weeks, but you will turn in ALL
SIX Outlooks at the same time. They are due to me before you leave for
Christmas break. Please make a cover page that lists MLA style citations for
all of the articles you included. 6 x 20 = 120 + 30 pts for the correct
cover page. Do not even think about
e-mailing this assignment to me. After Christmas, we will be
adding an additional element to the Outlooks, which will be required for
third quarter. (More information about that later…)
-
Over the Christmas Break, you will read
EITHER Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt or All Over But the Shoutin’
by Rick Bragg. NB: The movie of the McCourt book doesn’t even come close to
covering all of the book. Also, I am telling you now (in October) about the
reading assignment so you COULD read the book between Thanksgiving and
Christmas and then take two weeks off from AP Language work over the break.
You will take a test on your selected book when you come back from break and
then you will write a paper comparing the book you chose with the Walls book
you read over the summer.
-
After Christmas, you will need a copy of the
Kaplan Test Prep guide for AP Language and Composition 2009. I will show
you examples of the book – please make sure you get the AP Language book and
NOT the AP Lit book.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Your entire Banned Book
Project is due on November 3. I will
give you 10 bonus points for a typed & beautiful introduction (1 paragraph)
and table of contents. This is a huge grade – we will be going to
the library again this week so you can do your last bits of research and
complete some writing. Presentations will be made in an order decided on
Monday, 11/3. I expect the presentations to last about three or four class
periods. You will be evaluating your peers while they present their
projects.
