Block 4 AP Lang Assignments

I am very excited to read these!

Your homework is to set aside 45 minutes to write a practice essay based on the animal ethics prompt that we have been discussing for the past two days. Do not spend more than 45 minutes on it. Type it an turn itin here when you are done. I promise this is just practice.

Here is the synthesis presentation from last class with the homework for today on it - just the thesis statement

Your homework that is due today is the last slide on the Animal Ethics presentation.Write your paragraph on a doc. and upload it here before our Zoom meeting. I have also included the synthesis presentation and exemplar for today.

I have added the animal poems and charts here as well. These are due before our Zoom session today (Thursday)

For today you need to have already completed your section of the graphic organizer for the second half of Lobster. You also need to have completed a chunky SOAPSTONE of the article. Please make sure both of these are already uploaded by the time we begin our Zoom session. I added the graphic organizer here again in case some of you want a clean one to type on. I have now added the presentation for today and the homework that will be due on Thursday.

Hello Class,
Please upload your homework (the graphic organizer for Lobster) before we begin our Zoom session. You may upload it to the original assignment post or you may upload it here. Assignments uploaded after we begin will not be counted. We will go through a presentation on the first half of Wallace's article during this class session. The presentation that I go through will be uploaded here after our session, so you don't need to take notes on the slides. The Zoom recording will also be uploaded here after the session. You may want to take notes on anything we discuss that is not on the slides.

Both free speech essays were turned in. If you were absent, you will need to email these to me by Tuesday to not incur a late penalty (highest grade of a C). Today we read the "Vegans" essay and filled out the "Vegans" organizer. Your homework - due on Wednesday is to read to the big "B" on page 62 of "Consider the Lobster." The big "B" begins the second half, which we will do next week. You must read the footnotes as well. They are part of the essay and not optional. There is also an organizer that goes with that essay. You must fill out only one of the sections. If you were absent, you pick. If you were in class, you were assigned. You (all of you) must complete your section digitally and turn it in to Google class by our normal class time on Wednesday. I have made a copy for each of you of any of the documents that must be completed and turned in digitally.

You may edit the original essay if you need to; however, you should focus on your flipped essay. Because of its more basic structure, it has the potential to be the stronger of your two essays.
