Goodbye to the Invisible Man

Today we had our final timed essay of the year. Monday and Tuesday will include some last-minute AP test prep and then, the test is Wednesday.

Pocket Poems & IM Groups

After sharing pocket poems, we had group presentations and talked about Invisible Man for the rest of the period.

MC Practice & Questions Groups

After a bit of multiple choice practice on a passage from Einstein's Dreams, students worked on Invisible Man questions in their literature circle groups. We will present those questions tomorrow.

Q1 Practice & a Bit of IM

After a bit of essay practice, we talked through yesterday's IM quiz.

MC & the Final IM Quiz

After a short practice MC passage, we had our final Invisible Man reading quiz.

Have a Great Break!

Thursday, we had our 4th IM quiz, on chapters 13 through 17, then talked about the chapters a bit. We wrapped up the day with a bit of Q2 poetry essay practice.
Friday, we began the day with a practice MC passage and then just scratched the surface of chapters 13 through 17 in small groups.

AP Practice Materials are posted at Google Classroom!

Odds and Ends

Because so much of the class was absent today for a field trip at HSU, we had a practice test and then took care of loose ends. Expect an Invisible Man reading quiz tomorrow.

Essay Practice & Lit Circles Redux

After a bit of Q2 essay practice, students began the process of forming groups for our post-AP Test literature circle project.

MC Practice & More IM Groups

Today we began with some more multiple choice practice and then did a bit more with the IM groups from Friday.

Many Things...

 After a bit of multiple choice practice, the remaining CRAs from Wednesday, and a fire alarm (in period 6), we did some close reading in groups and shared our findings.

Quizzes & CRAs

We began the day with a quick quiz on chapters 7 through 12, had a lively open discussion about those chapters, then finished the writing about "Theme for English B" in the writer's notebooks. The last part of the period was spent looking at shared analytical paragraphs at Google Classroom.

New Seats & Discussion Rubrics

Today we got new seats, did the Q3 discussion rubrics, and continued our work with Ellison's poem.
