Begin work on the Single Sentence Animation Project!  Your final exam!

1.  Choose one of the texts you read this year (AP Level) either a book or any essay.  

2. Choose the best sentence from the text!

...more to come!

 

Remember that next week Dr. D and I have to teach the smarter balance lesson and give you the test... more fun to come!

 

Then, I put on the board, "Language is the most vivid and crucial key to identity and social acceptance; it is both a political instrument and proof of power."  This is a statement gleaned from a 1979 essay by James Baldwin.  We discussed the extent to which we agreed with this statement.  Many mentioned experiences they or family members had with:  English, other languages, accents....

 

For homework, read the entire passage and come up with a thesis that defends, qualifies or challenges Baldwin's ideas about the importance of language.  One sentence!  Then, generate a list of evidence to support your assertion.  

 

I've included a picture of the entire prompt, in case you were not in class, or had to leave early.

 

Note:  If I don't see you due to AP tests--bring this assignment when you return.

 

To all students as we enter AP Testing:  Get a good amount of sleep and eat a good breakfast that includes protein and complex carbs!  Good luck!

Upload all writing before 11:50 PM on 4/28/15.  No late work accepted for any reason.  This is extra credit!  So I am only accepting it by this day within the specified time frame.  Don't wait until the last minute to upload; turnitin could be slammed with uploads and then you would be out of luck.  Upload by 11:50!  Make sure that you confirm your submission and get a receipt.  Check your email for the receipt.  If you don't get one, then work was not uploaded!

 

I would also like to give you credit for  your annotations to the Prager piece, so bring that to class as well.
