Updates for this week

Here is the PRESENTATION for this week's learning.

Update for AP Lang

Please read through THIS PRESENTATION for updates and important information about remote learning going forward. Also, please check your email for communications from administration about the remote learning plan for the high schools for the next few months.


Questions about grades, Remote Learning Opportunities (RLOs), and Zoom meetings are all answered in this pres. While RLOs are optional, you should note that these will be activities geared towards helping you to review and prepare for the AP test in May, as well as help you to read new and interesting pieces of literature while applying your skills.

Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or clarifications you might need... I am here to help in whatever ways I can.

Updates for AP Lang this week

Hope you are all safe and healthy at home!
Please read through THIS PRESENTATION for updates and learning opportunities for this week.

If you have not completed the survey from last week, please do so to let me know how you are doing.  Also, please check your grade. If you would like to raise your grade, you may do so by turning in any missing assignments (please submit them via google classroom), or making revisions to assignments you lost points on (this applies to most, but not all, assignments from this semester).
Next week, I would like to set up a Zoom meeting with our class... more details to come later this week.  I really miss having class together!

Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!

Updates for AP Lang this week

Hello AP students!
Hope you are all safe and healthy at home!
Please read through this presentation which contains a survey, updates, and learning opportunities for this week.
Miss you all!

Hello AP Lang students!

Hello AP students!  HERE is a letter from me to you.
I posted this message on google classroom and will continue to communicate with you using both these platforms.

Our final unit on the argument essay (Q3) will be one we will work on virtually, so we can feel prepared regardless of which essay type is chosen. Please use THIS DOC to learn more about this essay in terms of the approach and skills development

All "assignments" described here are optional; it is a good idea to practice this essay type and have a game plan for how you will approach this writing, but no grades will be given for the preparatory work you do here. You are not required to submit any work to me, but I will certainly read it and give you helpful feedback if you do.

The College Board has announced that, due to these unexpected circumstances, the AP test will be shortened down to one 45-minute essay that you will write at home. They will be announcing the essay type on April 3rd, and also the test dates that will be available to you.  Here are two articles from the College Board that might help clarify these details:

Once the College Board announces which essay type you will be writing, we will switch to reviewing writing approaches and practices for only that type of essay.
For now, the argument essay will be our focus.

Thinking of you all often and hoping your break from school is going well.

Interesting times...

Use THIS PRESENTATION as a guide for the next few weeks, and enjoy your break!
