Greetings AP Lang Students:
First, I wish you health and peace. I know these are nontraditional times. These times too are needed. They test our resiliency and teach us more about ourselves. I wish you and your families health as we maneuver through them together.
I believe if we had a choice, this would be the best time to go online with our learning. We just had our rhetorical analysis body paragraph assessment (Thursday 3/12/2020), and we turned in via google classroom our source 2 for the Research on Friday (3/13/2020). Those of you who did not take the assessment must do so when we return. Until then, it will show as missing and we must live with that. Those of you who are late turning source 2 in must do so ASAP.
Starting next week, and until we get back to school, we will be focusing on the following goals:
- Independent Reading (via a class novel that I will post on google classroom with reading entries)-
- Our research trail (Source 3 will be due 3/20/2020 via google classroom) and I-search (Part I, Part II, and Perhaps III).
- Revising our rhetorical analysis essay and providing feedback to each other. Most of you have typed it and I will ask you to post on google classroom soon and share with three peers for feedback. I will also be providing feedback to you individually.
- Other Miscellaneous work that we need to complete along the way such as writing entries, articles of the week, and grammar/writing exercises.
As you can see, we have much to do. This is the time to demonstrate initiative and personal resposibility. I will exemplify mine by posting clear and specific directions, answering your questions, and providing you feedback and examples. Please exemplify yours by reading the directions carefully, following them faithfully, and doing your work to the best of your abilities.
I look forward to your cooperation,
Dr. Kassem
