Tuesday 31 January- English 9

Welcome to Quarter 3!

First, the iPad numbers have changed. Make sure you are getting the correct device. Also, be sure you log out and remove your account at the end of each class.

Friday #17 is posted in Classroom. This week we will check in on the Priority Standards again and see what progress you have made. The slips you are receiving have your trend scores for Q1 and Q2/S1. Take a critical look at your performance level and if you have improved. Then open the assignment in Classroom and complete the task.

Continue viewing The Odyssey. Odysseus is leaving the Underworld after consulting with Tiresias. Remember to take good notes!

AP Lang Calendar

Updated so far with the reading schedule for the quarter. Make note of these dates and plan your time wisely. Notice that In Cold Blood is spread out in large chunks and Between the World and Me is in small chunks that happen more frequently.  I have also scheduled in a few reading days, but there may be more to follow.

Monday 23 January- English 9

Today we start the next section of content, which features reading/viewing of The Odyssey, the hero’s journey story structure and a multi-media group project.  More on that later.

Golden Potato video and notes on Hero’s Journey.

Make a 16-box organizer to help chart Odysseus’ journey as he travels from Ithaca to Sparta and tries to come home again. You will need to fill in this organizer as we view the film and use it again when we read the text.

Notes on people and places in The Odyssey. We will use the purple book for this. Make a character list for your own reference.

Calypso
Charybdis
Circe
Cyclops
Lotus Eaters
Polyphemus
Scylla
Sirens
Teiresias
Penelope
Telemachus
Athena
Poseidon
Zeus
