Homework, Friday, November 6

ANNOUNCEMENT! ALL OF MY CLASSES WILL BE IN ROOM 403 on Monday, NOVEMBER 9. 

Seniors - You need to finish the novel by Tuesday when we will have a double points quiz and discussion. As you read, note evidence that helps you answer the research question you developed today in class. If you were out for the field trip, discuss it with a classmate on Monday.

AP Language - If you were not in class today, check your email. I sent you a photo of your graded claim and comments. The grade will not go into the gradebook now, but it will after you revise.

• Everyone who is planning on submitting their Fun Home paper as their exhibition needs to share it with me by Monday morning. I strongly suggest doing so rather than working on an additional English paper. 

• If you are not submitting an English exhibition, send a revised claim to me at jessica.candlin@gmail.com by Monday morning

TIPS: Below I have included some prompts to help you consider SO WHAT? These will help you with English and History. I also recommend consulting the "resources for close reading and analytic writing" tab in this blog.
