May 14-May 24 Activities and Housekeeping

Well, we're finally there- the last post for your sophomore year in English (untill I think of something really sappy to write)!

Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday May 15, 16 and 18
Classwork
  1. The Desert of the Real: drawing connections between Fahrenheit 451, The Matrix and your world! (Note for parents: Your child should have spoken to you last week about the privilege of studying this film.  If you have questions, comments, concerns or requests, please e-mail me.  If you have questions about the film's 'R' rating, please visit the Motion Picture Association of America's rating site here.
  2. Final exam preparation (Friday only)
Homework
  • Complete Portfolio- due in class on Friday (in-class checking only)
  • Special Note: Short story is also due on Friday. Two copies are required: one for me, and one that should be placed in the portfolio.
  • Late Work/Optional Fahrenheit 451 Project due Friday (Please note that any items required for the portfolio must be in it to receive full credit, there may not be a separate grade given for late items that are portfolio requirements).
 Monday and Wednesday, May 21 and 23
Classwork
  1. Final Exam (portfolios are allowed for use during the test)
Homework
  • Make sure to get summer work from Ms. Long for either AP or Honors English.  You lucked-out, either way.  She's an awesome teacher!
  • Have some fun!  You earned it this year!
