Objective: Have a great day!
Hey all you next year AP kids. Today I shared with you a link for Summer Work. Literally 5 minutes after you left Dr Iacuone called me and told me that THERE IS NO SUMMER WORK!!!! It was too late for the teachers to submit it, so it is NOT MANDATED!!! Do it if you want... Warren
If you are taking Honors American Lit... YOU HAVE SUMMER WORK!!
Objective: Have a great day!
1. We are done.
You can return books to the library, play on phones, talk, study for AP Euro, or whatever you want.
Objective: The students will see the movie version of a novel that they did not have a chance to read this year.
I am working on grades. Please check your Aeries grade to be sure that everything is correct.
The returned work folder is overflowing. I need someone to pass it all out. And don't leave it on the desks for me to pick up. That and those wipes that people are leaving really is NOT cool!
1. The Count of Monte Cristo
We will watch this over the next two classes. If you are at home, you can try to find it on streaming service, or just chill. This will not have an assignment or test involved. I hope you are all well at home!Objective: The students will see the movie version of a novel that they did not have a chance to read this year.

Objective: The students will discuss the analyzed poem and then look at two other poems that have a different focus and device.
1. Discuss "Ex-Basketball Player"
2. New Poems: "First Lesson" and "The Long Hill"
Note: I am grading these like I am judging to see if you will be able to make it in AP next year.
Objective: The students will analyze a very cool poem.
Note: In aeries, your grade for outside reading may say 1/650. That is the way that I marked that it is turned in. Now I am reading the reports, so the grade will change as I grade them. Oh... and did I thank you all for turning them in on the last day possible??
1. Ex-Basketball Player by John Updike
Objective: The students will work as a group analyze a great poem.
1. Summers Remembered analysis.
Objective: The students will close read a story and analyze its use of irony and ambiguity.
NOTE: I have had several really silly questions about the book report and close reading assignment. IT IS DUE FRIDAY! It does not matter if you have class or not that day! You will turn it in before Friday at 2:00 pm. If it is not in by FRIDAY at 2 pm, I WILL NOT GRADE IT! Turn it in MONDAY and it will be 0/650 points. Stop with the silly questions.
1. WP # 14
2. Close read the story. (ignore the many typos on this copy of the story. I did not type it!)
3. Complete the questions on a separate piece of paper.
4. Book Report
Objective: The students will analyze a very ambiguous piece of literature.
1. WP #12
2. Notes/Discussion
3. Group Activity: This is a participation grade of 100 points. Everyone must try to figure out the poem. If I see a phone out at any time during the activity, YOUR ENTIRE GROUP loses the points.
