COMPOSITION NOTEBOOK SET-UP
Today we set-up the composition notebooks which will be used throughout the rest of the year to keep lessons, major notes, journals, and reading responses. The composition notebooks are ideal for this type of set up. I will collect these periodically and the Table of Contents needs to match and the content that has been delivered in class must be in the notebook and easy to located.
In the notebooks, we discussed the ins and outs of the AP exam, timed writing tips, and logical fallacies. The slides to the notes can be found here.
You should really try to get a composition notebook as was stated on the syllabus if you do not have one.
SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT
Summer Reading Extension Students: your book, questions, outline, and essay are all due by 9 AM October 25. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED as this extension is 2 months from the original due date AND all of you have had quite a bit of in class time to work (some of you have chosen to talk instead, but nevertheless, the time was given). NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. NO EXCEPTIONS. "I left it on my bed...I couldn't print...I forgot what today was...I shared it with you...I emailed it to you...I was abducted by Martians last night and when they returned me, they took my book..." whatever your excuse, I don't care to hear or consider any of them. Love ya, mean it. If you are going to be absent, you need to turn it in early.
Submit any digital work you have in the NEW Google Classroom Assignment Tab made specifically for you. Ask me if you are unsure about it.
