Day 18-19 (10/16-10/21) AP LANG: Crucible Intro, Grammar Check, IENs, Essay Resubmissions

1. On 10/16-10/17, that was the first official timed writing. This was not and will not be graded. Students will do a few more and get to choose which one they want me to grade.
2. There was also a pop quiz on the Fallacy Notes which were for homework the previous class.
3. On 10/18-10/21 there was a "Grammar Check" assignment. There was a "busy picture" posted on the board and students had to create a loaded sentence following this format: Article adjective noun, appositive, verb adverb prepositional phrase conjunction rest of sentence. (This activity does not need to be made up for those who were absent.)
4. There was a handout given out. It is titled "Modes of Persuasion: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos". Students need to cut it out and paste it into their Interactive English Notebooks (IENs) on the next page (the one after "The Thesis").  Students who were absent will need to go to their assigned folder located in the classroom on the materials table and get theirs.
5. Students will have the opportunity to resubmit their essays. The procedure to do so is below as well as posted in the Google Classroom.
6. There was a reading assigned two class periods ago: The Introduction of the Crucible. Those who didn't have the black book were supposed to read the pdf that was uploaded in Google Classroom. Based on that reading, there were 4 questions that students were tasked to answer in their IENs. Those questions are below. Students who were absent will need to make this up:

Introduction to The Crucible Questions:

1. Explain in detail what the driving force was behind Miller’s imagination?
2. Explain the parallel between Miller’s work and the state of the country at the time.
3. Explain how this work stems from personal accounts of Miller.
4. Explain why the bodies of those convicted were not given respectful/proper burials and what the reasoning was behind this act.

Resubmission Process for ICB Essay

I stated in class that there would be no resubmissions. However, on major assignments, I did state at the beginning of the year that resubmissions would be offered and you would have 1 week from the time the essays were returned. I must honor that and with that being said, all (A and B day) who wish to resubmit must do so by 9AM on Monday, October 28 following the rules below:

In order to resubmit, you MUST:
1. Submit your new/revised essay by 9:00 AM EST on Monday, October 28 in the Google Classroom under the "ICB ESSAY RESUBMISSIONS DUE BY 10/28 9AM" tab.

THEN...

2. Print your original paper.
3. Print your new paper.
4. Provide a written/typed explanation as to what you changed/removed/added to your new paper.
5. Print the rubric (attached to the Google Classroom announcement and assignment tab).
6. Staple the entire packet.
7. Physically turn in this packet by 4:15 PM on Monday, October 28 in my classroom.

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE EXCUSE OF "I THOUGHT I HAD UNTIL 4:15 TO SUBMIT" AS IT CLEARLY STATES ABOVE THAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT IN THE GOOGLE CLASSROOM BY 9:00 AM AND THEN HAND ME A HARD COPY PACKET BY 4:15 PM ON THAT SAME DAY.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE ABOVE RESUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS BY THE DEADLINE, YOUR RESUBMISSION WILL BE NULL AND VOID AND YOUR ORIGINAL GRADE WILL REMAIN.

*You can earn up to half of your missed points.
