Jump Off
--Please pick up a lined 3 X 5 card from the front table.
--Is anyone planning on using Animal Farm as a source in the End-of-Course Assignment?  If so, let me know today in the library.  I have your Animal Farm writing assessments from way back when if you think taking a peek would be helpful!

--FYI: I am still working through both English 10 Honors and English 9 writing pieces.  Please continue being patient! :)

Checklist:

• take Membean quiz
• finish finding sources (if necessary)
• finish creating your Works Cited page (seven sources minimum [as per assignment sheet])
• type and include your annotations for two nonfiction sources as part of your Works Cited page
• print two copies of your Works Cited page (one for me and one for Mrs. Donohue)
• YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE COPIES ARE DUE BY THE END OF THE CLASS BLOCK IN THE BLACK BASKET.
• gather, interpret, and synthesize your evidence
• TIP: Put proper parenthetical references next to each of your pieces of evidence.
• begin outlining

HW (Class Preparation)

--Complete 45 minutes of Membean training as directed before 11:59 PM on Thursday, 6/1.  If you fail to appropriately train between now and the administration of Vocabulary Quiz #7, you will not be permitted to take the quiz until you catch up (see the "Membean Routine" document).
--Complete a "UB Discussion Card" while/after reading up to the end of page 180 of An Ordinary Man.  The expectation is that your card consists of at least two potential contributions for discussion.  Discussions about An Ordinary Man will be driven by all of you via a drawing of name cards.  This assignment is to be completed by next class (Tuesday, 5/30).
--Following each section of reading of An Ordinary Man, I reserve the right to administer a "Did You Read?" assessment similar to those we have taken in the past.  If you have completed a successful reading, said assessment should not be challenging at all! :)

HW (Class Preparation)/Writing

--Continue moving forward with regard to the End-of-Course Assignment, which is due the week after next:

• Finish gathering, interpreting, and synthesizing your evidence.
• Begin outlining.

*I AM AVAILABLE AFTER SCHOOL PRETTY MUCH DAILY FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS ONE-ON-ONE (ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT--BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND TAKE INITIATIVE!).*

Miscellaneous

--Don't forget about your free reading book. ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS. See me if you have finished reading your book and need a one-pager.

On the backburner:

• Paraphrasing AoW as preparation for culminating assignment
• Counterargument lesson/AoW as preparation for culminating assignment
• ACT nonfiction passages and multiple choice questions
