FRIDAY

  • Winter Break Reading Conference
    • If you were absent on Wed., check the conference schedule above and email me which conference slot you would like for your conference.
    • Bring an interpretive-level question with you to the conference.
    • Keep in mind that your grade depends on how well you discuss the book. 
  • Today's Assignment: Shakespeare Background Crowdsourcing
    • Definition of crowdsourcing: The practice of obtaining information or input into a task or project by enlisting the services of a large number of people.
    • Use the sites you found for homework to add accurate information for each section on the document above. Everyone will be working on the document at the same time, so make sure you do not duplicate info.
    • 3 accurate entries = 70              4-6 accurate entries = 80-90 7-10 accurate entries= 90-100
  • HW: Begin studying Act I Vocabulary
    • Go to Vocabulary.com and create an account using your school Google. Make sure you have joined my class called "AP Eng 4"
    • You will see that there is a word list assigned for Act I. You will have a quiz soon on these 40 words, so you will need to study them. Here's how:
      • Get a word list from the sub or use the online doc.
      • In the Act I assignment on vocabulary.com, cycle through the words from the list by making a guess about the meaning of each word. When the answer comes up, write the definition on your word list. Just get the synonym or a short definition for each.  
      • Begin studying your word list thoroughly because you will run into these words as soon as we start working with Hamlet next week.
