English Ten Period 2

1. Be sure to work on your final Expository Presentations. We will begin presentations on Monday, June 3rd. If needed on Monday, Please bring a snack as we may need to stay into nutrition. 2. Over the weekend, please construct no fewer than 10-12 thought provoking questions to ask your mother; an aunt, older sister, or another woman who works (or has worked) outside of the home. You may want to include questions about how working impacted her self-confidence, or simply why she chose to work. Be sure to have a clean neatly hand-written or typed set of your interview questions, and DON'T forget to record a portion of your interview on your cell phone or ipad or something. 3. Don't forget to finish your SOAPS and an summary/reaction paragraph to Judy Brady's "I Want A Wife" article. 4. Finally, read as much of When I Was Puerto Rican as you can.

Honors English Ten Period

1. Reminder, Annotated Bibliographies and typed reflections are due on Thursday. 2. On Thursday, you will be writing an in-class essay on the following topic: Analyze a significant speech act made by a character in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar for the speaker's use of persuasive language techniques, including fallacies, appeals to certain emotions and other devices. Tonight, you may want to simply identify your speech and read it several times. Then thin: what effect does the speaker's use of language have on his or her audience? 3. We will also read/hear Act IV 5. Finally, I have decided to allow your line recitals to be your final exam. This will give us time to fully read Act IV and V. Watch the speeches; complete our in-class essay. On your final exam date, you will give your lines (to be safe, I will ask approximately 6-10 students to go on Monday, June 3rd). On that date, we will have our potluck as well.
