Period 1--AP 30
We finished going through "A Valediction Forbidding Morning" and examined the various conceits in the poem. The students also did a diagnostic quiz on proofreading and editing issues so I can see where they may have deficiencies. They will have a timed write on Monday that will be based on a John Donne poem.
Period 2--Pre-AP 20
These students also did the diagnostic test on proofreading and editing. From there, we finished the Shakespearean sonnet and moved onto Wordsworth's "The World is Too Much With us." Unfortunately, we didn't get too far with this yet, but will exmaine it more closely on Monday.
Period 3--ELA A 30
The students had some more time to finish their double entry journal of "Homo Canadensis." We were just discussing it as a class when the bell rang, so we'll finish up the poem on Monday.
Period 4--Pre-AP 10
These students also did the diagnostic test on proofreading and editing. We started going through an old AP exam to get the students used to reading these types of prompts and then analyzing the poem or prose response to develop a thesis statement that could provide guidance for a timed write. They don't have to write the essay, but need to develop the thesis.
