English II Honors 4/24 A- 4/25 B SUB work

4/24 A Day English classes- Keep this handout, highlight it, take notes on it, and make it look like you actively read it. This will be a grade. Do not lose this handout. You should constantly refer to the directions throughout the class period.

1. Mr. Dunlap hands out this blog and students volunteer to read aloud to class, the assignment listed for today assignments
2. If you didn't finish your test. Mr. Dunlap will pass back your unfinished test for you to finish. If you didn't take your test, you will need to take it. Make sure you record your answers on a separate piece of paper. ALL STUDENTS MUST REMAIN QUIET UNTIL ALL TESTS HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO MR. DUNLAP. DO NOT TALK WHILE STUDENTS ARE TESTING.
3. If you finish the test before others you should work on any of the following (QUIETLY at your seat)

-Make sure your R#45 (example still on board) has at least 15 entries. Remember the things you record should support your thesis. The more book support you record on R#45, the better your paper will be.

-Go to the table at the front of class, and take your own copy of the Literary Analysis Guide and the two model essays on Literary Analysis (conch paper, Fitzgerald paper). Read the part about support for the Literary Anaysis paper from Topic Sentence to Clincher/Concluding Sentence. Then look at the support in the model essays. Compare the items the guide tells you belong in the support with the model essays.

4. When EVERYONE has turned in their test to Mr. Dunlap, he will handout the following:

-Peer Editing Sheet Introduction

When you get this handout, write your name where it says writer's name.

Before you exchange introductions with someone in the class, make sure you consider the following:

-that their introduction must include the name of the book and author

- it should have a linking sentence before the thesis that connects the thesis to the rest of the introduction

- that you should be honest about whether the person's intro. is engaging. If it isn't and you write that it is, you aren't helping the person.

-the background information should give enough background so that if someone hadn't read the book, they would understand it. It shouldn't throw in book terms or names without explaining who or what they are.

5) Have someone you trust fill out your editing sheet while reading your introduction. You can have more than one person fill it out, just make sure they all put their names.

6)DUE Monday: Support for Essay. See ABOVE regarding reading the Guide/Models for directions and R#45. If you do not have your support on Monday, then you will not have the advantage of someone reviewing it for you.

3/25 - B Day English Classes

1. Mr. Dunlap to handout this blog. A volunteer will read today's directions. You do not need to read the directions for the A day classes, as you have already completed that lesson.

3. Mr. Dunlap will handout the following:

-Things Fall Apart- Peer Editing the Body

-Things Fall Apart- Literary Analysis Conclusion

4)If you wrote your support, as was assigned, exchange papers with someone you trust and have them fill out your Peer editing worksheet. If you didn't write your support, then write your support. You can have more than one person edit your support for you. Also, have someone edit your paper for spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors. You might want to read your paper out loud to the person so you catch some of your own mistakes, and also because they may not completely understand what you are trying to write.

5) Next look at the Literary Analysis Guide handout and Model Essays. Read what you are supposed to have in the Conclusion of your Essay. Then read the model essays' conclusions. You can do this by yourself, or you can do it in your group. After reviewing the conclusion, write your conclusion on the paper provided. Due Tuesday if you don't finish in class.

Part 2- Group list (minimum of 20 items per column)

Due Thursday 4/17 B and 4/18 A

PART 3- Lists returned (part 1 and 2)

Take your group list and revised if needed. Now, eliminate any thing listed that isn't realistic or revise it to something more realistic. Research each item in detail ( if applicable). For example, if your group put new computers, you must research what type of computers you will be asking for in detail. The following description was found calling a computer store for the best specifications for a computer for publication and digital image production in 2005.

3 - Pentium 4 computers, 800 FSB Systems or comparable with:3.0 Ghz, 1Gb Ram (minimum), 200 Gb HD, DVD-RW, Windows XP Professional, flat screen 19-inch monitors (minimum)

This means you will have to search the internet, call places, ask experts.

For items that describe quality or expectation from people, be specific about what you expect. Also think about potential problems with the item you are asking for and include solutions. For example:

Photographer
1) The photographer will provide student identification cards for students grades 9th through 12th personalized by student name and student number by September 1st. All IDs must be in the same format as the IDs printed on campus. Examples will be given to accommodate. Photographer will print these pictures from all student pictures taken during senior photography or underclass photography. If a student refused to take a picture or enrolls after pictures, the photographer is not liable to produce an ID for that student.

or STAFF
1) Staff members and their parents will sign a contract stating if they do not meet their deadlines, they will receive a zero on that deadline, which most likely will result in failure of the term, and potential removal from the class. Students and their parents will be expected to abide by their signed agreement.

When finished, you should have 3 categories of well-thought out, researched, and detailed expectations. This must be typed and be reviewed for mistakes or grammatical errors before turning in. Each category must have a minimum of 10 detailed expectations. Extra credit will be given to those groups that have more than 10 per category. Make sure each group member's name is on typed project, and that it has been saved to a secure location so that it can be accessed again.
