The assignment is in the document attached. Please read through it carefully as this "final" totals to 100 summative points. I have included examples from past school years, but note that most of the examples are from years where these were presented in person so take it with a grain of salt.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT ANYTHING TO THIS ASSIGNMENT!


This is a reminder that you are responsible for reading The Great Gatsby this week. This is independent/asynchronous while you are rehoused with Friedman. You need to finish reading the book by the end of this week so you are prepared for your Gatsby exam next Monday (5/24).


I have created this "assignment" here on Classroom so that it appears on your Google Classroom to do list. Make sure you are keeping up so that you don't lose out on those summative points! Once you are done reading, hit mark as done.

So that I have an idea of what you are working on please answer the questions below:


1. Which of our work day options will you be focusing on? (AP prep, Gatsby, Blog)

2. What are you hoping to accomplish during the period? (Study goals, chapters, etc.)



Example:
1. I am going to be reading Gatsby
2. I am planning on reading chapters 1-2.


At the end of class, leave a private comment letting me know what you got done during the period.






I have attached our Gatsby resources if that's your plan!

Attached is the note taking document for today's philosophical chairs discussion. For each statement you will need 3 complete sentences explaining why you agree or disagree with each statement and 3 bullet points of notes.


You will earn 10 points for submitting a completed note taking document and 5 points for participating in discussion.

So that I have an idea of what you are working on please answer the questions below:


1. Which AP test(s) are you reviewing for? (you can select any upcoming AP test as long as you are using your time wisely!)

2. What part of that test prep will you be focusing on? (multiple choice, FRQs, essays, etc.)

3. What resources will you be using to study?



Example:
1. I am studying for AP Bio
2. I am focusing on the multiple choice section
3. I am going to take a practice test from my Barrons prep book






I have linked resources to this post as well!

After announcements and routines, I will post the prompt.

1. I will start the 45 min timer and display it on Zoom.
2. Because the AP Exams are now confirmed to be in person, you will be handwriting the essay.
3. I will provide you with 5 minutes to take pictures/scan (UPRIGHT PLEASE....) and submit to this assignment. I will be firm with the timing because in person, you will literally be told by the proctor to STOP producing writing --otherwise it is considered late and invalid for grading.

This is an independent practice outline to help you prepare for your synthesis essay. 


Attached to this post is the prompt you will be responding to and the outline you will be producing. You do not need to annotate the prompt; if you would like to for the extra practice, feel free to annotate in Kami, but you will not be graded on it.


After reading through the sample prompt, answer each of the questions to create a practice outline. This is an outline so keep it brief! I DO NOT need a whole paragraph or several sentences per question!


I would recommend typing your answers in a different color so you can easily see them (and so I can easily check your work!)


Remember: you have tons of resources in the "Essay Materials" section of Google Classroom; make sure you are referring back to them to help you with your outline.


Your outline should be submitted no later than the end of the period. Once you are done you have the rest of class to work on either individual test prep or your blog.

If you haven't yet, go back to the practice multiple choice from last class and check your answers (I added the answer key to that post Wednesday afternoon).


Skim through any questions you got wrong and choose five missed questions to reflect on. Answer the questions below to guide you reflection. Your response should be a total of 4-5 sentences:



Overall, how do you think you performed on the practice multiple choice section?
Looking at the questions you missed, why did you miss them?
What topics/concepts/etc. do you need to brush up on to be more successful on the AP exam?





(If you missed less than five questions, great job! Just use whatever questions to form you reflection)

Hi children!!

We are at the point in the year where we can talk about your post-secondary (after high school) lives...I mean, you're coming back next year (fingers crossed for as much normalcy as possible) as SENIORS. LET THE MOURNING BEGIN!!!

-----------------------------
If you are awesome, you will know that what you put in now will relieve you of so much stress in the fall when applying for colleges. HOWEVER, you do not need to sweat it too much....what you put in now can also be a START so that you do not start with zero in the fall. :) It's up to you. We started the year with free will...we end the year with ....~free will~....muahaha.


*THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES FOR YOU TO REFERENCE HERE INCLUDING A RESUME. YOU'RE WELCOME. A RESUME IS TYPICALLY ATTACHED TO A BRAG SHEET TO SHOWCASE OFF-CAMPUS WORK OR VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE. IT'S NOT MANDATORY FOR OUR ASSIGNMENT, BUT SEE "BARLEY" NGUYEN'S EXAMPLE HERE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

What to submit to this Google Classroom Assignment by 4/21 7:55AM: Personal Insight Questions Doc and Personal Statement (final draft) Doc. These are due on Turnitin.com too.

P.S. I don't post these samples on my College Google Classroom, so if you find these exemplars helpful, I 100% suggest you "File>Make a Copy" for future use once school ends and I archive our Google Classroom.

Before starting this practice test make sure you have the following:

Way to keep time (non-smart device)
Pencil
Separate piece of paper or a printed scantron to write your answers down

You will have 60 minutes to take your practice test (for my people at home make sure you are still following the time limit!). We are treating this like the real AP multiple choice section so that you have a feel for it before the test date. You can either write your answers on a separate sheet of paper or on the printed scantron.


Once you are done with your practice test, take a clear picture of your answer sheet (make sure it's the right way up!) and attach it to this assignment.


I will post the answer key after school on Wednesday for you to check your answers


After submitting, you have the rest of the period to study for the AP test. That could be looking at other practice tests, going through review books, etc.


Update: I have attached the answer key to this post so that you can check your answers. You will have class time tomorrow to reflect on how you did.

*Posting early in the AM. DO NOT LOOK AHEAD! Gracias.

Code for College Help Google Classroom (incorrect on PDF): ixpy6vn

See attached. We went over in class why this is so important!! Print and complete or I've attached a .docx file too if you want to type on it. Make sure to hunt down someone to fill out the peer eval so you can submit by FRIDAY morning.

You have a copy of the note sheet --fill it out during the viewing of the College Apps Q&A Panel.

This is due tomorrow at 7:55AM.

TOD - Sign up on calendar by the time class ends. I WILL ANNOUNCE A TIME DURING CLASS TO START SIGNING UP--- DO NOT touch the doc just yet.

This due date is through April, as is Turnitin.com's, because the assignment is semester long for various individuals. Yours is due on the day you sign up for by 7:55AM to BOTH here, Google Classroom, and Turnitin.com.

If you forget and are not prepared on the morning of your presentation, you forfeit your points because it's a class routine that your peers rely on, and you committed to a date.

View all materials (directions, rubric, examples, exemplars, etc.) on the previous posts from the "What's Up Mondays" topic menu. :)

You will pick groups at an announced time.


I will go over examples with you and walk you through the writing process.

Period 3:


What to submit: picture of the "Test Summary" page when you complete the practice session (see last page of the first set of slides for reference).

*Just posting early...*

Look back at your 3 submitted essays for Quarter 3. Select 1 to be graded summatively; the other 2 will receive formative points. When you make this decision, know that the subsequent quarters will narrow down to the remaining essay types (i.e. at this point with quarter 2 done, you cannot select whatever you submitted then so if you selected RA, you can only choose between Arg and Synth).

My essay grading quota begins Saturday so I just put Saturday morning as the due date. Make a decision and don't overthink it. :) Editing access to the doc WILL be removed and I will make a selection for you if you neglect this task.

The two readings are LINKED at the top of the attached doc :)

5 formative pts. ec opp: message me @schooledbystultz a reading of your poem --see the link attached for examples OR email me a video file. Due at the same time as your annotations and black out poem.

1. Read the 3 texts with your group. Each person needs to make their own copy and have their own annotations, but you can work together by reading aloud and dialoguing in your breakout rooms.

2. Group TOD: you will go onto the Padlet and put your first and last names and class period along with a 2-part argument for EACH of the 3 texts. :)

After announcements and routines, I will post the prompt.

1. I will start the 45 min timer and display it on Zoom.
2. Because the AP Exams are now confirmed to be in person, you will be handwriting the essay.
3. I will provide you with 5 minutes to take pictures/scan (UPRIGHT PLEASE....) and submit to this assignment. I will be firm with the timing because in person, you will literally be told by the proctor to STOP producing writing --otherwise it is considered late and invalid for grading.

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)


NO MERCY --- because mercy was given for the first 8 QW!!!!---half credit if ANYTHING is missing...it needs to LOOK LIKE THE EXEMPLAR!!!!!! (Yes, I am yelling bahahah!)

*2nd Period: I'm posting early because all three periods have a common due date. Wait for me to explain tomorrow.

This is to be worked on in pairs or in groups of three. See attached sign up sheets by period. Communicate!

I'll announce when to sign up for groups and claim topics --max 2 per marginalized group (i.e. only 2 groups may select the veterans to write about).

Share with me your work doc ([email protected]) so I can pop in throughout the week to monitor your progress but only ONE person will submit the assignment on this Google Classroom post and to Turnitin.com by Monday 7:55AM. ;)

If you want to ask me specific questions, come to the main room OR because we're moving into hybrid and I'll have two groups to focus on during class, feel free to tag me (if you type [email protected] into a comment box, it will allow you to check off a check box that sends me an email and directs me where to look for your question) throughout the week up til Friday evening. Finalize over the weekend as it's due Monday!

I think that's it. USE YOUR RHETORICAL TERMS LISTS to help you. I attached it here for ya. Examples shown in class but not posted so you can come up with your own original stuff ;)

25 mins. Open Notes.

WOW - PREGGO BRAIN!!! Upload lists by end of class.

There is one part to this TENTH Multiple Choice practice.

Make a copy of the pdf to annotate the 5 on Kami :)

Make sure not to forget about purpose/EXIGENCE and having 2 parts to your arg to not lose pts!

Read the first slide carefully for directions (handwritten notes to be uploaded!) and then the good news on the last slide :)

Technically, the due date is set for tomorrow morning, but you don't have a second portion to today's block so you should be able to finish this by the end of class.

After announcements and routines, I will post the prompt.

1. I will start the 45 min timer and display it on Zoom.
2. Because the AP Exams are now confirmed to be in person, you will be handwriting the essay.
3. I will provide you with 5 minutes to take pictures/scan (UPRIGHT PLEASE....) and submit to this assignment. I will be firm with the timing because in person, you will literally be told by the proctor to STOP producing writing --otherwise it is considered late and invalid for grading.

See attached. Socratic Seminar takes place Wednesday.

For the first 30 minutes of class, you'll be in your breakout room semester groups listening to George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant." Pay attention as you'll be annotating steps 1-5 for this text with your groups.

Tips: You have share screen access. Have someone display their doc (one per group-someone makes a copy to work on/submit) while someone plays the audio as you follow along to the text. :)

You will be working closely with this text during the second block of this week.

There are TWO parts to this ninth Multiple Choice practice.

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there is a video, "5: Skill 7.A Daily Video 1," and a quiz assignment for you to complete, "MC#9."

COMPLETE BOTH to get full points. Remember that AP Classroom only counts completion for the video viewing if it is watched in its entirety (not even a few seconds off). The timer for the MC portion is set for 8 minutes.

You have until 7:55AM tomorrow to complete this work but you shoulldddd work on this during class if you can or during asynch. time.

Hi all,

On behalf of Mrs. House and the Yearbook team, we need students to submit their yearbook photos. As a result, we're incentivizing by making this an assignment in all 9th-11th ELA classes. (I'll input the points into AERIES on Friday afternoon.)

Please see the attached Slides to help you do so. What you'll turn in for the assignment is a screenshot of the completed task or your "Yearbook photo" itself if you have already done so on Monday's 4th period Mariner Monday time. Once again, YOU WILL UPLOAD EITHER YOUR ACTUAL YEARBOOK PHOTO SUBMISSION OR A SCREENSHOT OF THE SITE SHOWING IT WAS DONE. Either works.

-Mrs. House and the ELA Department

Links embedded in doc.

If you didn't make it to the revision session, try to go through the revision slides here on your own.

Don't forget that you need the evaluation paragraph!

Submit to TII too!

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)

Read both articles. Then make a copy to annotate "the 5" on Kami for each and upload to this assignment; you may also print and hand-write your annotations to take pix/scan and upload to this assignment as well.

We'll have a Philosophical Chairs the first block this week. :)

10 words for SAT, 15 terms for Allusions.

SAT List #4 = #31-40
Allusions List #4 = #46-60

NUMBER THEM. Do not attach 5029 attachments. Just keep it simple - submit your lists. ;)

It took me an hour+ going through and counting/opening attachments the first time so if yours is unorganized or time-consuming, I'm skippin' it! I'm only getting older!!! :)

25 mins. Open Notes.

ROUGH DRAFT of your Op. Ed. Analysis Paragraph due FRIDAY at 7:55AM to this assignment post. Read footnotes below...

*For the Op. Ed. Analysis, I am emphasizing the value behind THE WRITING PROCESS. The hardest part is getting started and therefore, I've put these accountability measures for each step of the way to ensure a successful paper. You can't perfect/revise a great final draft without a rough draft and you can't write a rough draft without annotating an article to find the items you need for analysis. I will be checking off completion of both tasks on my roster and for each that is not complete, you are docked -2.5 pts from your FINAL DRAFT. The writing process pays off, I promise! -->putting this here for the 108155th time...

*Because it's pandemic times, I'm extending grace (and have been): you need AT LEAST the completed analysis paragraph for rough draft points. Your final draft will REQUIRE an evaluation paragraph....so the more you have now, the more you can revise later. :)

*Be sure to look back at previous posts: you have exemplars (A+ student samples), sample evaluation paragraphs by high/medium/low, and the analysis paragraph guidelines and other resources at your disposal. It's second semester so you should be developing, not regressing!!!! <3

Listen to my suggestions re: timing, revising, using resources, etc. (Expectations are higher because it's not officially "timed" --summative 10 pts for rhetorical analysis skills. Use the extra time to your advantage).

When you are done, you can turn your camera off so I know and work on these menu items: studying for SAT/Allusions Test #4 on Monday, revising for your Op.Ed. FD due Tues. morning, or reading FD for extra credit.

You'll work in groups to discuss but EACH person has their own copy here on GC.

Prior to the end of class, I'll add in the model analysis paragraph :) On the second block of this week, you'll be responsible for writing your own analysis paragraph (summative) for a selected passage from the narrative.

HOMEWORK DUE TUESDAY 7:55AM

-Read the linked article.
-Handwritten HW: answer the numbered questions below in 3-4 sentences.
1) Referencing the article, explain how this demonstrates that marginalized groups do not get heard often. Summarize the article but then highlight this main issue.
2) How is Institutional Racism different from other types of racism and how does institutional racism cause other forms of racism? How does institutional racism affect young people in our schools and communities?

Task #1:
Find an Op. Ed. on our next thematic unit: Oppression, Injustice, and the Fight for Freedom. LINK it in the comments here on this Google Classroom post. That's it. This is due by TOMORROW (Tuesday) 7:55AM. I will check the time stamp of your comment. Once you post, you're committed to this article --no changie uppies! Be sure you're committed --is it an Op. Ed....does it have an opinion....are there lots of strategies to examine...does the article interest you...etc.

Task #2:
For HW for the second half of this week, you will ANNOTATE the 5 steps for your Op.Ed. Article (using Kami). This will be due at FRIDAY 7:55AM (I know it's a holiday, I'm announcing this in advance in hopes you'll finish earlier than that!). Upload your annotations to this assignment and submit. ***PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND INTENTIONAL THIS TIME AS THIS IS YOUR THIRD OP.ED. ANALYSIS. LEARN FROM ANY PREVIOUS MISTAKES!!!***

*For the Op. Ed. Analyses, I am emphasizing the value behind THE WRITING PROCESS. The hardest part is getting started and therefore, I've put these accountability measures for each step of the way to ensure a successful paper.

OPPRESSION: Cycle of Oppression, Oppression Matrix, Racism, Classism, and Microaggressions

You will complete group work today to explore the terminology. Try your best to use some of these terms and jargon in your future use when discussing oppression.

Share with all group members and myself ([email protected]) within first 2-3 mins of breakouts.

There is one part to this eighth Multiple Choice practice.

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there is an assignment for you to complete, "Unit 4 Progress Check: MCQ."

NO videos to view this week. COMPLETE the MC to get full points. The timer is set for 25 minutes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our first thematic unit for the second semester is "Oppression, Injustice, and the Fight for Freedom." While this unit will take us through Quarter 3 and will have more serious texts, this is an introductory activity that will ask you to practice building sophisticated arguments, supporting them with evidences drawn from multiple disciplines, and showing reasoning and logic through your rhetoric. The cool part about second semester is that you have the basic writing skills down from first semester; now we just apply and practice!

See Trial Materials/Calendar, Assigned Roles, and Mock Trial Grading Rubric for All attached here. I had my TA help randomly assign your roles. Examples, videos, etc. are all shown in class and not attached here because...I want you to use your own imagination and creativity, and I don't want you to subconsciously take from the models!

EACH day from today through next week, you will be earning participation points on top of the assignment points. You must follow the directions as dictated for EACH day. This is your responsibility. I will be checking at the end of each period to see what you have produced. You can either earn full credit, half credit, or zero depending on your work. A question I will ask myself is, "Does this look like a period's worth of productivity?" I think you can answer that. ;)

>>What goes on this GC post/Turnitin.com by FRIDAY 2/5 @ announced time IN class (it will say 7:55 AM on TII - do not panic): Work Document (your group notes for brainstorming/argument/reasoning/evidence... OR jury notes) along with Presentation Slides (Jury, you'll have someone submit your rubric there on Thursday, and then two others submit your Jury notes and final verdict slides on Monday 2/8)<<

*2nd Period: I will cover this Friday so don't worry yet.

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)

There is one part to this seventh Multiple Choice practice.

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there are two videos for you to watch (totals to about 15 mins). Remember that College Board shows me if you completed EACH viewing and to what extent..stop the video a few seconds early and it will only say "in progress" and not "complete." Watch the entirety of the videos.

Complete the viewing of both videos to get full points.

You have until the start of tomorrow @ 7:55AM to complete this work. I'm giving you time because this quarter (as we know), there is no afternoon asynchronous time in the afternoon AND I assigned the letter to Stultz to you.

See attached screenshots for reference.

Letter to Stultz

Write a note to me in regards to these questions...

Paragraph 1 (8-10 sentences):
On the topic of what I've shared with you in my moment of vulnerability, what is a "weight you carry" that cannot be seen from the surface? How are you doing physically and mentally up to this point in the school year? It's tough, I know, but if you do vent, can you find ANY light at the end of the tunnel? It's okay if you can't either, but just throwing it out there to look at both pros/cons of our 20-21 situation.

Paragraph 2 (8-10 sentences):
What are some hopes you have for the end of the school year, the end of 2021, and your senior year? What are things that are helping you "show up" every day? Can you share some joy with me (I'll take playlist recs!)?

Format however you wish but it must be typed on the doc attached. Due tomorrow morning so you have plenty of time to reflect.

Love,
Stultz

30 mins. open notes.

At a DESIGNATED TIME during the first block of this week, you will claim a rhetorical term to sign up for on the attached docs (they're posted by period!!!!).

In the middle of this week, I will post a FlipGrid for you to post you dressed up as this term! You must post to the Flipgrid no later than Tuesday 1/19 7:55 AM --we will be voting for best costume in class that morning :) While the contest runs per class period, I am putting all three class periods onto one Flipgrid for fun --that way you can see everyone's responses and review!

We have such few opportunities for nerdy fun this year with distance learning, so I really hope you embrace this! <3

After listening to my explanation in class...
Form a group. Look at the requirements on the doc --groups of 2-3 and no repeated topics per class period. Groups may begin claiming topics at an announced time.

I want no more than 10 groups per period so we can maximize our class time and ensure that all groups present with enough time. Please adopt someone - no singletons. Talk to me if you want 4 (additional time added to requirement). BE BRAVE --we're signing up on a DOC!!! That's scary business. If you don't know anyone, just type your name and hop into a group. I've given you plenty of time to make arrangements prior to today!

One person in your group will submit the work to GC (the speech document and photos or videos of your rhetorical visual and additional piece of rhetoric) and TII.com (the speech document) by 7:55AM Friday morning.

There are also 2 other posts to be weary of: the outline post (due Tuesday 7:55AM) and the Tree Map Checklist post (due Friday 7:55AM)

Timeline:
-Pick Groups/Claim Topics
-BRIEF outline
-Work Day first block
-Presentations second block

I CAN'T WAIT!!

** I posted early because so much prep so DO NOT panic nor touch this until I cover this Fri!!

Make a copy of the attached tree map checklist --only one person needs to submit per group. This is due the same morning as your speech because I need to use it to listen carefully and grade ya!

** I posted early because so much prep so DO NOT panic until I cover this Fri!!

Work on this Monday. Due 7:55AM Tues.

It's just brief so get down what it asks for but you have a whole work day during the first block to get into detail!

Create your own doc to share with [email protected] and group members but use the attached outline as a structure. Only one person uploads for the assignment.

**Second period: I'm posting early along with 1st and 3rd so don't panic. Will be explained...

TOD - Sign up on calendar by the time class ends. I will let you know when you can start signing up!!! DO NOT touch the doc just yet.

This due date is through January, as is Turnitin.com's, because the assignment is semester long for various individuals. Yours is due on the day you sign up for by 7:55AM to BOTH here, Google Classroom, and Turnitin.com.

If you forget and are not prepared on the morning of your presentation, you forfeit your points because it's a class routine that your peers rely on, and you committed to a date.

Due here and to TII: DJs

Essay to be done on a separate post in January.

Look back at your 3 submitted essays for Quarter 2. Select 1 to be graded summatively; the other 2 will receive formative points. When you make this decision, know that the subsequent quarters will narrow down to the remaining essay types (i.e. if you select rhetorical analysis now, you'll choose between argumentative and synthesis quarter 3 and so on).

My essay grading quota begins Saturday (hot off the blog checks!) so I just put 10 AM. Just make a decision and don't overthink it. :) Editing access to the doc WILL be removed and I will make a selection for you if you neglect this task.


*2nd period: posting early so don't panic until I talk about this Fri.

After announcements, I will post the prompt.

1. I will start the 45 min timer and display it on Zoom.
2. You will type on the provided document and submit to Turnitin.com.
3. Submit no later than _________ AM otherwise it is considered late and invalid for grading.

*2nd period: posting this early...ignore til Fri.

10 words for SAT, 15 terms for Allusions.

SAT List #3 = #21-30
Allusions List #3 = #31-45

NUMBER THEM. Do not attach 5029 attachments. Just keep it simple - submit your lists. ;)

It took me an hour+ going through and counting/opening attachments the first time so if yours is unorganized or time-consuming, I'm skippin' it! I'm only getting older!!! :)

No responses collected yet (can't see the test). I will open at 2 and you will have until 2:25.

-Random Zoom Groups --who knows, you might meet potential group members for the future! Be brave - intro, share contact info so people can communicate, have someone share a doc or slide with everyone and [email protected]
-Begin!

Due at 3. You may stay during tutorial. Only one person needs to submit work here and to TII.com on behalf of the group. Group members names should be clear on the assignment.

Not due until Tues 7:55 after winter break :)

*If you can't access the second article (which you can by signing up with your email address), there are screenshots attached.

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)

After announcements, I will post the prompt.

1. I will start the 45 min timer and display it on Zoom.
2. You will type on the provided document and submit to Turnitin.com.
3. Submit no later than _________ AM otherwise it is considered late and invalid for grading.

In-class task: EACH person in your group has their own copy of the assignment. Read the two attached texts and complete the guided reading for today's class period. We usually fit in a Fake News unit into our Power, Politics, and Corruption unit, so I'm widening your breadth of knowledge with these two texts. :)

At-home task: Review Argument materials for Friday's Quarter 2 Arg In-Class Essay (do you remember what "qualifying" is??). A sample Argument prompt is attached for your perusal. Outline/brainstorm for your own good (optional but I'm sure the learning gods are out there rewarding you with good karma!!). The Argument essay depends heavily on your outside prior knowledge coming into a prompt (how well-read you are with news, current events, pop culture, etc.) For that reason, your bonus task this week is to sign up for Debatable and The Donut which are 2 newsletters that will help expand your outside worldly knowledge.

What to turn in to this GC assignment: the copy of today's guided reading and attachments for 5 pts. formative extra credit. The questions should be finished by the end of the period...but I'm giving you extra time for the EC screenshots just in case.

There is one part to this sixth Multiple Choice practice.

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there is an assignment for you to complete, "Unit 3 Progress Check: MCQ."

There are TWO passages to read and only 18 questions total. NO videos to view this week. COMPLETE the MC to get full points. The timer is set for 30 minutes.

You have until 7:55AM tomorrow to complete this work because I know some of you may be headed to school for a variety of reasons. :)

After announcements, I will post the prompt.

1. I will start the 45 min timer and display it on Zoom.
2. You will type on the provided document and submit to Turnitin.com.
3. Submit no later than _________ AM otherwise it is considered late and invalid for grading.

In-class task: EACH person in your group has their own copy of the Eisenhower "Order of the Day" speech. Annotate using Kami --the Abigail Adams one has been posted here for your convenience.

At-home task: Review RA materials for Thursday's Quarter 2 RA In-Class Essay (Review guidelines, see sample essay, go through all past materials for RA posted on GC). You have the option to make a copy of the RA outline and complete it for the Eisenhower speech for 5 pts extra credit for practice (what a perk...basically paying you to study!!!) This is due by tomorrow morning 7:55AM just so you have some more time.

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)

See attached handout for the mandatory reading assigned over break and rubric for the presentation.

I've shown 2 examples in class -- remember that Judy and Nayeli supplemented with verbal explanations too. The other example is more of a "what not to do" for aesthetics (long chunks).

*Text Evidence for ALL things --it's like when you're annotating and you highlight/underline text to support your rhet strats, purpose/exigence, tone, and audience! Remember that flashcards are not mandatory but can help relieve your slides of so much text... you can verbally explain. :)

*ALL text must be submitted to TII. I would suggest creating a doc where all your group members can collaborate. Then, link at the top of the doc your set of slides. ALL text (your elaboration in means/matters, commentary, etc. must be included) on Turnitin.com.

Not due until the end of asynchr. but should be completing this in class during the presentations. Engage and cheer on your peers --it's tough work!

O. M. G. This is your LAST group essay --from here on out, you'll have to write timed essays on your own!! AHhHHHh!! Good times.

See attached for the Group Essay Final Draft doc that I formatted in MLA for you!

File->Make a copy of it and transfer over your writing from the outline/rough draft doc. You have until Friday morning to revise and polish it and spell/gram check.

Only ONE group member submits here and onto Turnitin.com

I also attached the group rubric for Synthesis. :)

This is your TOD for the second block of this week. It's due by the end of asynchr. time. It should be a BREEZE. In normal times, I like to give you the "why" of every unit we go through. This unit has been shaved off quite a bit, but we will still dive into it after Thanksgiving break.

If you didn't make it to the revision session, try to go through the revision slides here on your own.

Don't forget to add the evaluation paragraph!

Submit to TII too!

10 words for SAT, 15 terms for Allusions.

SAT List #2 = #11-20
Allusions List #2 = #16-30

NUMBER THEM. Do not attach 5029 attachments. Just keep it simple - submit your lists. ;)

It took me an hour+ going through and counting/opening attachments last time so if yours is unorganized or time-consuming, I'm skippin' it! I'm only getting older!!! :)

For HW for the first half of this week, write a ROUGH DRAFT of your Op. Ed. Analysis Paragraph. This will be due WEDNESDAY at 7:55AM to this assignment.

*For the Op. Ed. Analysis, I am emphasizing the value behind THE WRITING PROCESS. The hardest part is getting started and therefore, I've put these accountability measures for each step of the way to ensure a successful paper. You can't perfect/revise a great final draft without a rough draft and you can't write a rough draft without annotating an article to find the items you need for analysis. I will be checking off completion of both tasks on my roster and for each that is not complete, you are docked -2.5 pts from your FINAL DRAFT. The writing process pays off, I promise! -->putting this here for the 108155th time...

Task #1:
Find an Op. Ed. on our next thematic unit: Power, Politics, and Corruption. LINK it in the comments here on this Google Classroom post. That's it. This is due by THURSDAY 7:55AM. I will check the time stamp of your comment. Once you post, you're committed to this article --no changie uppies! Be sure you're committed --is it an Op. Ed....does it have an opinion....are there lots of strategies to examine...does the article interest you...etc.

Task #2:
For HW for the second half of this week, you will ANNOTATE the 5 steps for your Op.Ed. Article (using Kami). This will be due at MONDAY 7:55AM. Upload your annotations to this assignment and submit. ***PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND INTENTIONAL THIS TIME AS THIS IS YOUR SECOND OP.ED. ANALYSIS. LEARN FROM ANY PREVIOUS MISTAKES!!!***

*For the Op. Ed. Analyses, I am emphasizing the value behind THE WRITING PROCESS. The hardest part is getting started and therefore, I've put these accountability measures for each step of the way to ensure a successful paper. You can't perfect/revise a great final draft without a rough draft and you can't write a rough draft without annotating an article to find the items you need for analysis. I will be checking off completion of both tasks on my roster and for each that is not complete, you are docked -2.5 pts from your FINAL DRAFT. The writing process pays off, I promise!

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there is ONE video for you to watch about synthesis. There is also ONE MC passage to complete. Because it is only one passage with three questions, you have half of the time -- 6 mins (real time practice for the MC portion of the AP Exam).

Remember, you have to watch the video to the very end for it to mark it as COMPLETE.

You have until the end of the day (It is set for 3:00PM) to complete this work.

See attached screenshots from a student's view if needed.

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)

***The due date is usually Monday late starts at the end of asynchr. time but because it's a holiday week, you have until Weds. morn :)

See attached for the Group Essay Final Draft doc that I formatted in MLA for you!

File->Make a copy of it and transfer over your writing from the outline/rough draft doc. You have until Monday morning to revise and polish it and spell/gram check.

Only ONE group member submits here and onto Turnitin.com

I also attached the group rubric for Argumentative. :)

Synthesizing simply means combining. Instead of summarizing the main points of each source, you put together the ideas and findings of multiple sources in order to make an overall point. At the most basic level, this involves looking for similarities and differences between your sources.

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there is an assignment for you to complete, "Unit 2 Progress Check: MCQ." Know that this is our 4th MC practice; it wouldn't let me rename -_-.

There are three passages to read and 18 questions total. NO videos to view this week. COMPLETE the MC to get full points. The time has been set to 25 minutes max.

You have until the end of the day (It is set for 3:00PM) to complete this work.

See attached screenshots from a student's view if needed.

Read through the attached packet (covered in class) and annotate as per the directions on there for the two attached texts on the next Google Classroom post.

Monday's TOD: paste your questions onto a PUBLIC CLASS COMMENT on this GC post so peers can look ahead and mentally prep for Socratic Seminar on Weds.

Refer to previous QW for materials if needed (but you should have had them saved to an AP Lang Google Drive by now!!!)

*Period 2: We'll cover this tomorrow.*

This will help in framing our thoughts as we get introduced to the ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY.

We will review what you explored for Monday night's HW and today, you will work on a group one for practice. When I send you into your breakout rooms, discuss, but have ONE person in your group post in the comments here your response with...

Claim:

Grounds:

Warrant:

Backing:

Qualification:

Rebuttal/Reservation:

Then, you will claim a topic of your choice in the comments of this post AT AN ANNOUNCED TIME at the end of class for your own individual Toulmin Model.Create your own doc/type your OWN Toulmin Model. Include MLA, title, header, chart. and images. Your Toulmin Model is due Friday 7:55AM here and on TII.com

Group work done in the first half of class.

There are 2 parts to this second Multiple Choice practice.

1. Log into My AP Classroom.
2. Look at your assigned work. You will see there are two videos for you to watch (about 7 mins each). Remember that College Board shows me if you completed EACH viewing and to what extent.
3. Look at your assigned work. You will see there is "MC #3" with two passages and a total of 6 MC questions.

Complete both videos and the MC to get full points.

You have until the end of TOMORROW (It is set for 2:45PM 10/20 and the MC portion is set to a 15 min timer) to complete this work. I'm giving you time because there is a hw assignment today :)

See attached screenshots for reference.

For homework, please watch the 12 min video and take notes on the given document.

We will need this knowledge for the first block of this week :)

See attached for the Group Essay Final Draft doc that I formatted in MLA for you! :)

YAYAYAYAYAYAYYA

IT'S THE LAST OF THE RT TESTS (until the semester 1 final when you have a cumulative exam of all of these terms o_o so don't forget them)!

8 minutes. I will count down from 10 after time's up to give you a moment to SUBMIT the test -- no exceptions. You've been exposed to the test. "Your lack of preparedness is not my emergency."

Just being nice and re-attaching the directions for Quick Writes and two lists of jargon that will help you analyze images.

Also attached is Quick Write #2 which is due by the end of asynchr. today.
Please be a self-starter and read the directions CAREFULLY so you know what to do to meet the requirements of the assignment. Usually, we handwrite these, but for DL, I made a handout...if you leave anything blank then yes, it's incomplete.

I've also posted an EXEMPLAR from period 1 so you can refer to it. It does not need to be that long but see how she follows the directions? She highlights the 2 elements of art or principles of design that she analyzes in the "says" sentences? That's what the highlighted directions say on the doc...DO THAT AND GET FULL POINTS! It's not a secret. Only if you leave things incomplete then you get docked points!

Upload to TII.com as well!!!

Monday Practice entails two rotating routines: Quick Writes and Multiple Choice Practice.

Attached are directions for Quick Writes and two lists of jargon that will help you analyze images.

Also attached is Quick Write #1 which is due by the end of asynchr. today.
Please be a self-starter and read the directions CAREFULLY so you know what to do to meet the requirements of the assignment. Usually, we handwrite these, but for DL, I made a handout...if you leave anything blank then yes, it's incomplete.

This image just evokes so much emotion -awe, maybe even disgust at the lack of appreciation of a memorial....but you are in charge of writing an argument for the image and there's no one "right answer" as long as you can back it up with evidence!

8 minutes. I will count down from 10 after time's up to give you a moment to SUBMIT the test -- no exceptions. You've been exposed to the test. "Your lack of preparedness is not my emergency."

Random partners today---
someone create a doc, share it with partner, share it with [email protected] within the first 3 minutes of breakout rooms.

Follow the analysis paragraph guidelines to draft an analysis paragraph for this short essay. ONE partner uploads the assignment here and to TII.com

-Listen to "The Recline and Fall of Western Civilization" with class
-In your Quarter 1 groups, you'll pop onto the class deck of Google Slides, find your group #, and work on that slide. You will annotate "the 5" steps on the slide. Format how you wish but have the required items.

GROUP WORK - make a doc, share it with [email protected] and peers, ONE person submits here (no need for TII on this assignment)

There are 3 parts to this first Multiple Choice practice. We usually give you a passage or two alongside questions, but My AP Classroom has some videos now (they're relatively new, and their materials are OK...we try to search for the better offerings) so occasionally, you will view videos too.

1. Log into My AP Classroom. You will see that there are 2 videos for you to watch; this will take about 10 minutes.

Usually done within a class period....but I'm giving you until asynchr. time today! LUCKY!

I just made the TOD due by the end of asynchr time today just in case... but you should be finished by the end of class. :)

Today I'm introducing your yearlong passion project (2nd period, I'll cover this tomorrow!! Don't look ahead and panic without me...)

We're just going over guidelines and looking at some samples in class. Your task tonight is to determine a topic and stick with it.

YOUR COMMITMENT is due TOMORROW by 7:55 AS A COMMENT ON THIS POST (your electronic comment will act as your "signature" for the commitment).


Building your Blog/Google 20 Resources-
You will also use class time today to start building your blogging site. :)
1. Start building your Weebly. Go ahead and open the doc attached for details.
2. Look at the Blog Examples attached for inspiration and expectations.

BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH at 7:55 AM:

You must take this essay assessment if you do not do EoE Annotations. If you attend class today and do not take it, you forfeit your points.

Directions: Write a thesis statement and then spend the bulk of your time developing your two body paragraphs. You must provide specific examples of events in the book, but they can be paraphrased in your own words and still should have a citation with the author’s name (Steinbeck). You must do the work of explaining how each example ties back to your thesis. Think 2 Says/Means/Matters or 2 CER per paragraph with topic sentences and concluding sentences. We know you can produce at least this because you write a 45 minute. District Writing Assessment each year. :)

You are proving that you read the book carefully so the more general you are, the more at risk for a lower score you will be. This must be uploaded and submitted to the Google Classroom assignment within 5 minutes of the class period's end. You must submit to Turnitin.com as well. It will not be accepted if it is more than 5 minutes into the passing period.

**I will post the prompt at the start of the class period for each of my 3 class periods, so you may not see it yet for security's sake.**

Upload and submit your Final Draft here along with Turnitin.com!

Remember --you need to LABEL and # all required items (and any extra rhetorical strategies you add). See attached for example. If you do not label, I will not know "where" to look for your rhetorical strategies and I won't be able to correct your use of the strategy. :)

Read the attached directions and examples.

Rough draft to be worked on and submitted Thursday 9/10 by 7:55AM.
Final draft due Friday 9/11 by 7:55AM on GC (on a separate assignment) and TII


*2nd period: I posted early for 1st and 3rd. Please don't freak out --wait for me to go over the assignment with you. I just didn't feel like making multiple posts with the attachments. In fact, ignore this until tomorrow please!

Upload any and all things for your rhetorical visual. (Hardcopies of your project can be submitted in-person on Tuesday 9/8 1:30-3:30PM by the bookstore).

ANY and ALL text should be put on a doc (if not already) and submitted to TII.com for plagiarism check.

While Stultz is popping in and chatting/interviewing individual students, in your own individual breakout room, you will complete this asynchronous task by the end of the period. It's to view the Jeff Bliss video in its entirety then complete the TOD. Make sure to turn in the assignment. We will be using this as a springboard for a Philosophical Chairs on the second block of this week.

Each student has a copy to (1) the letter to self and (2) the letter to Stultz.

Make sure you complete both before clicking turn in/submitting.

No need for TII --this is to build a relationship and to also reflect, so hopefully you'll do it honestly. :)
