Monday

Today we are going to discuss chapter 2 of Assata, and discuss your AP essay on "Upon Seeing England for the First Time".

We will be also looking at an example of the AP Language test (essay questions), and hopefully getting to PRECIS writing.

Homework: Chapter 3 of Assata, "How to Mark a Book", vocabulary list #1, and research your news article.  See below:

Democracy Now!

Also look at CNN or the Washington Post 

Remember this week you need to find at least two news items - one an article and the other print - on the same topic and write a reaction to it.  Below is the assignment as described in your syllabus:

Further, each week, students will need to find two news sources on the same subject.  One of these must come from a television/video source such as CNN News, Democracy Now!, or Fox News, and the other must be a written source coming from an on-line newspaper or news blog.  Students are required to write a short (200-300 words) analysis of these news items noting point of view, claims or thesis, major points and write a defense or challenge.
