We review homework assignments in class. Students are able to make changes to their assignment to help them learn and study for any upcoming tests. Absolutely no late homework accepted. In addition to individual practice, group practice, writing, and projects, class discussions are a primary way in which students come to understand a particular text. Class discussions are counted as overall participation points. Some class discussions are graded for specifics and scored that day. If you have any questions about the course, please the instructor at the above . I look forward to a wonderful year.
3 Pre-AP English 1-2 Summer Reading Assignment Mrs. Kimberly Cloud Career Tech & Global Studies Room N-201 Dear Parents and Students: Welcome to Gregori High School and our Advanced Placement program. This course will give you the foundation to be successful all four years in English. I have assigned one novel for your summer reading: To Kill a Mockingbird. The book is a classic. It brilliantly tells a story of a town living in the 1930 s. Enjoy! You may check out the novel To Kill a Mockingbird at Gregori High School during the month of June. You may want to call to verify library hours (209) or duffy.h@monet.k12.ca.us Two assignments: 1. Make a double entry journal (typed please). 50 Entries Required. 50 points. If you reach 50 annotations three quarters of the way into the book, you are still required to annotate the remaining last portion of the book. You will be looking for two different references while you read and discussing the effect and significance it has to the novel. 1) References that deal with race (racism, segregation, etc.) 2) Historical references references that allude to real life past events, situations, or people. Left side contains quotes, passages, phrases, lines, even single words taken directly from the novel. State the page number. Right side contains your comments about its significance to the novel. Do not list vocabulary words on the left with the definitions on the right. If words are chosen, it still needs to connect to the two references outlined above. Do not state your personal experiences on the comments side nor that you liked or disliked this part. We will explore that as well. First, study the novel. An example double entry journal is attached; however, this does not cover references with race or historical references. It merely shows you the depth in which you need to comment. 2. Character s personality Essay. 50 points Analyze the moral compass of a chosen character from the novel. Make sure you incorporate characterization. This is a formal essay in language and form that should include an introduction, minimum of two body paragraphs complete with quotes from book and citations, and a conclusion Summer Assignment is due Wednesday, August 16, 2017 by 4:00 P.M. submitted to Schoology as well as a hard copy to me. Without exception! Be prepared! TEST covering the novel s storyline will be the first block day! Again, welcome to Gregori and to your high school experience. If you have questions during the summer, you may Mrs. Cloud at the above . I do not check my daily, so please do not be alarmed or offended if I have not responded immediately.
4 Mrs. Cloud Pre-AP English ½ Summer Homework Example Exactly what does a Dialectical Journal look like? SAMPLE: (from All Quiet on the Western Front by a student) His features have become uncertain and faint, like a photographic plate from which two pictures have been taken. Even his voice sounds like ashes. Kantorek would say that we stood on the threshold of life. And so it would seem. We had as yet taken no root. The war swept us away. For the others, the older men, it is but an interruption. They are able to think beyond it. We, however, have been gripped by it and do not know what the end may be. We know only that in some strange and melancholy way we have become a waste land. All the same, we are not often sad. Earth! Earth! Earth! Earth with thy folds, and hollows, and holes, into which a man may fling himself and crouch down. In the spasm of terror, under the hailing of annihilation, in the bellowing death of the explosions, O Earth, thou grantest us the great resisting surge of new-won life. Our being almost utterly carried away by the fury of the storm streams back through our hands from thee, and we, thy redeemed ones, bury ourselves in thee, and through the long minutes in a mute agony of hope bite into thee with our lips! Then we change our posy and lie down again to play cards. We know how to do that: to play cards, to swear, and to fight. Not much for twenty years; - and yet too much for twenty years I love this analogy where Paul is speaking about Kemmerich as he lay dying. In photography, long before film or digital, silver plates were used to capture pictures. Of course, the exposure time was much longer. The description here refers to a plate that is double exposed and, therefore, blurred. Such a beautifully vivid description. 20 Paul s beautifully poetic discussion of life and circumstance are intoxicating. His insight and depth are impressive for a young man of 20. Even though the war has aged him far beyond his few years, his mature perspective is still extraordinary There is so much to say about this passage. First of all, it is an apostrophe the Earth is personified and addressed as if it were a living, breathing being capable of understanding and responding. There is also both polysyndeton and asyndeton effectively used in this passage to add weight and urgency to this moment. The passage breaks from the style of the rest of the novel. Paul s language seems almost like a traditional prayer spoken King James language. In a way, Paul is praying to the Earth to protect him as if the Earth were a deity (perhaps Demeter from Greek mythology). 89 Yet another of Paul s beautiful insights into the soul of a young soldier. I wonder how many millions of young men have felt the same things that Remarque craftily describes in this book. So many young men pawn their lives to the government at eighteen only to never have those lives returned to them. Their lives stop at eighteen and, even if they survive, they have not had enough life experience for the sum of their years. And yet, they have experienced far more than a person of any age ever should.
