Research Power Points

Today you will be working on your Power Point outline presentations in the IMC or computer lab, depending on which period you have class. My sub has extra copies of the directions, but please feel free to email me with any questions. Mr. Hammonds and Mr. Gladdish have my phone number as well, if you have a question that is really urgent:) Please refer to the Purdue OWL website for additional questions over the annotated bibliography or in-text citation. I have linked that site under "links of interest" on the right side of this blog. You must use Power Point rather than Open Office, or the presentation won't work on my teacher computer. You can do it in Open Office and convert it later, but that's an extra step. All supporting examples MUST INCLUDE IN-TEXT CITATION. Use your time well, and send me any questions you might have as you work through the project.

Halloween Poems due

If you didn't turn in a poem last Friday, be sure to bring TWO typed copies of your poem for tomorrow's class.

Binders

Just a reminder that binders are due next Thursday. During second period, I left off the Animal Dreams notes (that you were supposed to take while you read the novel). I have added them on the new rubric, which I have posed on My Big Campus. Go to "Resources" to access the rubric. There is no certain length for these notes. I just want to see that you took them. Have a great weekend!

Animal Dreams quiz

As you're studying for Tuesday's quiz (over the 2nd half of the novel), consider the following: Doc Homer says, "The seat of human emotion should be the _______________. We don't hold love in our hearts. We hold it in our ____________________." What does this say about his personality?

An article about Sara's senior project! Yeah! See the link to the right!

Class of 2013!

Welcome to what will hopefully be a good resource for you as you navigate coursework for our AP Literature and Composition/CAP class. This will be a place for us to discuss the novels and address any questions you have over the readings or assignments. Also, I know Senior Projects and Scrapbooks are always a concern, so we can address those questions as they arise as well. Posts to this blog are part of our classroom discussion. That means the rules are the same here as they would be in class. Consider appropriate topics, language, and content. Your first blog assignment is to answer the following question: What is a scholar? Explain your answer.

To remember tomorrow:

**Please bring "This I Believe" essays for revision. We will revise (graded assignment) on Tuesday and record on Thursday.

**Hamlet background quiz over video content, character list, and anthology pages 1588-89
