This week's blog debuts the weekly schedule in narrative form rather than in a day-by-day format.
Monday is an unassigned day and this class resumes on Tuesday with a literary terms test on words 11-20 in Bedford Reader. Students will be provided brief study time in class before this quiz. The Richard Rodriguez essay rewrites are due today; students should staple the new draft on top of the first draft. Their Eyes Were Watching God has been issued to students and they will write twenty-five talking points for each chapter for Friday's class discussion--the chapters due will be announced in class. Bedford Reader's second chapter will be assigned for outlining and a due date set. The Virginia Woolf prompt will be assigned this week for prewriting and the essay will be completed in class with a date to be scheduled. Students are asked to think about the fifteen-page research paper due in the spring and will choose a specific area of focus on the topic of a natural disaster tied to water conservation. Prose passages #2 and #3 will be completed in class with discussions on how to best answer multiple choice questions accurately and with precision. Cornell Notes that have not been completed yet will be finished by week's end. Vocabulary Workshop Unit II answers are due in class on Thursday as is the book. Writers Choice textbook has been assigned and will be due in class on Wednesday for a grammar lesson. Bedford Reader is due now on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the assigned novel is due on successive Fridays. Los Angeles Times newspapers will be distributed on Friday and a letter to the editor assigned with due date to be announced. Check teacher pages frequently for specific homework assignments and due dates to be updated during this week.
Thanks for your dedication and hard work, AP students as we continue to hone the strategies and skills necessary for successfully completing college-level reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar work. As always, we practice for perfection on the AP English Language Composition examination, scheduled in May 2010.

Summer Assignment
Students enrolled in Mr. Carmicle's AP English Language and Composition class are expected to complete the following assignments by the first day of school. The late work policy for this class states:
"Summer assignments that are not submitted by due date will be scored as “0,” which may negatively affect a student’s overall course score and earned class grade point average. Assignments that are completed and submitted late will receive only a “credit,” and not earn a letter grade; in this case a student must complete the work to avoid receiving a “0” but will still earn no letter grade for work that was completed. It is in the student’s best interest to meet deadlines and submit work of the highest quality by due dates."
Procedure:
Access collegeboard.com, click students, click AP, click courses/exams, and download the course description for AP English Language.
Take the multiple choice test recording handwritten answers on lined paper or typed responses on copy paper. Check your answers with the key at the end of the sample multiple choice exam. For each question, record a detailed answer of at least a sentence or two about why the answer is correct.
Answer three of the seven free-response questions in essay form. Of the three choices, a synthesis question must be included.
Questions can be addressed by e-mailing me at jcarmicl@lausd.net or by using the school's website link for teacher communication.
