January 13 - 17 Finals Week


It's finals week! As I mentioned in class, I consider the Rhetorical Historical paper to be the true final for the semester, but we will have a multiple choice test this week, worth approximately 5% of the grade.

If you turned in late work, please be patient. Although it's just for partial credit, I tend to receive quite a bit of grading from all of my classes around the final due date. Late work will generally be in the Gradebook before your final, in the order received.

MONDAY: Journal warm-up. Go over JFK speech from the Rhetorical Analysis Packet. Behind the scenes of "I have a dream." Watch and analyze Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech.

Due: Read through the inaugural speech by President John F. Kennedy on pages 40-41 of the Rhetorical Analysis Packet, annotating for rhetorical devices/appeals. Then, read page 42. Please bring the annotated pages on Monday, January 13.

Homework: Study the Study Guide.


TUESDAY: Zero period final, all-class review day. Journal warm-up. Baseball-style review session.

Due: n/a

Homework: Study the Study Guide. 


THURSDAY: Fourth period final at 8:00 a.m.

FRIDAY: Fifth period final at 8:00 a.m.

Due: n/a

Homework: Assignment #2 in Albert i.o. One short set provides practice with writing/editing questions, and the other reading comprehension. You'll see both types on the AP Lang exam in May. 

Enjoy the three-day MLK holiday!
I look forward to second semester with you.
