Welcome back to AP English Language and Composition after a holiday break. Here is the schedule for this week:
The Great Gatsby essay is due January 11 and must have been submitted on gomyaccess.com as a scored essay. Essay scores are approximate and the final essay scores will be graded up or down depending on thesis, textual evidence cited, structure, and audience. There are no exceptions for late work since this essay was assigned during the last week of instruction before the holiday break.
Invisible Man discussion will begin this week as students submit by January 11 the dialectical journal entries for the prologue and Chapters One-Five. The Booker T. Washington "Atlanta Exposition Address" responses have been scored and will be returned to students. This piece is related to Ellison's novel and discussions of Washington and others will be drawn from the material throughout the book. Students can expect to journal additional chapters of this important novel as class discussions proceed this semester. There are no exceptions for late work. Students who anticipate being absent must e-mail the entries as an attachment by today's deadline.
Pages 72-83 of Vocabulary Workshop review for Units One-Six answers will be provided in class; the Unit One-Six Cumulative Test is scheduled for later this week or the beginning of next week.
Language of Composition textbooks and Bedford Reader textbooks are due in class Monday and Tuesday for in-class and homework assignments.

Other assignments will be discussed in class and deadlines set.
