Work to Do

I hope you are all enjoying your break--I know that I am (only two small piles of homework yet to grade and 100 pages of Frankenstein to reread!)--however, I did want to remind you of some homework obligations you have for AP Lit. (This follows a blissfully homework free Thanksgiving break you will recall).

1) Drafts of your essay are due Wednesday (the day after we get back). These should be complete drafts with a concluding paragraph, supporting quotations, and a cover sheet. These are not FIRST drafts. They are drafts you have read and revised. Do not make the class do work you could do on your own. I worry about this because only 29 of you (of 49) have posted to the paper topic poll at Moodle. This seems a very simple first step.

2) You should be reading Frankenstein and posting at Moodle; both are due the day we return. Currently, there are a total of 12 posts at Moodle. This means we are 86 posts short of my minimum expectations and that the vast majority of you have not posted at all. I am afraid this means that the vast majority of you have not started reading either. Frankenstein is a great story, but it could be painful if you try to read it all over the weekend, a holiday weekend at that.

Sorry to remind you that school begins in just a few days, but we have things to do when we get back.

See you in the new year!

Mr. Staiano
