English II Homework
Rest this weekend! You finished your first part of your rhetoric unit test. On Tuesday, we will complete the essay portion of the test.
Remember that on Wednesday you will have the Pareto test. On Thursday, we will begin Night by Elie Wiesel. There will be daily reading you will be responsible for outside of class. It will be in small chunks, and I will post audio links to this website for those of you who do better with read aloud. Beware of pop quizzes. We will do activities with this, provided that people read.

Make sure that you study your vocabulary words for tomorrow's quiz.
We will finish JFK's inaugural speech tomorrow and review for the test for Friday. Remember that if you are absent that you have the number of days you miss plus one to make up your work. If you miss Friday, you will have until next Thursday to make it up since you have Paerato on Wednesday next week. Don't forget to revise and edit your Poetry Unit essay test. You were given this last Friday, and it has all my comments on it. It is a project grade, which many of you sorely need. Don't be late!
Tonight, if you did not finish it during class time, you are to finish your introductory paragraph. Remember that during class tomorrow, you will turn in your essay after you finish writing your conclusion.
This is a project grade. A few things over the weekend.
1. Complete #7-10 on the Compound-Complex worksheet. We will go over this on Monday. 2. Write your body paragraphs over the weekend. You may use the T-bear method sheet that I gave you on Friday. You will critique your own paragraphs by looking for the topic sentence, evidence, explanation, and wrap-up sentence. As you write keep this in mind! We will write the intro paragraph in class on Monday and the conclusion on Tuesday. Your essay will not be late because you will be expected to do it during class. 3. I have handed back your poetry unit test essays. It is your responsibility to revise and edit those essays. They are due back by February 12th. I expect your revision to be stapled to the test prompt and test essay that has my comments. Finish reading and annotating MLK's "I have a dream" speech.
Tonight read paragraphs 8-14 (on pages 35-36) and annotate this part of his speech by analyzing the rhetoric used, the audience, and his purpose in this part of his speech.
Vocab Quiz tomorrow!
Using the sheet from group work today, you will complete the fill in the blank paragraph structure on the bottom half of the sheet. Read page 33 and annotate FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech, as we have done with Carrie Chapman Catt's and Eleanor Roosevelt's speeches.
Then write TWO simple sentences and TWO compound sentences in a paragraph form that summarize FDR's speech. |
