Davenport's AP English III Updates

I'm excited to see your presentations tomorrow! Just FYI: Your proof of contact for the non-profit/professional organization does NOT need to be in your 3-minute presentation, nor do you need to show resources in a Works Cited until the final presentation. If you've already included it, don't worry about removing it, but just don't use "showtime" with it!

By the way: Seminar questions / talking points for Working Poor, chapter two are now posted on Moodle. :)

2nd and 3rd Periods ROCKED the first Socratic Seminars of the year! Thanks for great preparation and discussion!

Remind you guys of something? :)

Is Bilingualism Really an Advantage? For most of their lives, bilinguals might not show any real benefits. The true edge may come far later.

8th period: please email me with your partner's name for Walden teaching, and I'll reply with your chapter assignment!

Othello, acts I and II, due Friday. Focus on how oppression impacts characters and plot, and how rhetoric contributes to the oppression.

Don't forget: tactics and terms that develop patterns contributing to feeling of misconceptions and isolation. Due tomorrow. Can't wait to see what you do!

Moderators: questions MUST be up by the end of the school day tomorrow. No exceptions.

Tomorrow, we will do mini-APMC for "AMP." Graded discussions will be online; details tomorrow. Open Arg. TW 1 Thurs, and Lit. Fest Fri.!

Let's see how the snowpocalypse plays out for the schedule, guys. We might do a virtual graded discussion....
