  1. Greetings! Welcome back! Have out your notebook and something to write with

  2. Warm up: 10 minutes • Compose one paragraph detailing your best experience or feeling over break • Note: this does not mean summarize your schedule • Challenge: while maintaining correct grammar and punctuation, avoid using the letter “O”

  3. Share: • How was break? • What did you read over break? • Yes, you read something, even if it was the cartoon section from a 10 year old news paper that was used as wrapping paper from your dear Gammy. • What are you most looking forward to this semester? (The end doesn’t count; that’s obvious.)

  4. AP Exam: 4 months and 1 day away • $89 to Sally by February 28th • Will be administered here at school (advantage) • This is a PLC day so you will not have to miss class • If you take the exam, regardless of your score, you are exempt from and end of semester final in here

  5. What is changing from last semester? • Not much. • Less vocabulary • More in depth work with fewer words • Will probably begin working with it the week after next • More direct test preparation leading up to the exam

  6. What is staying the same? • We will write 3 papers (all before the exam) • Rhetorical analysis • Argumentative • Synthesis • We will be using more of our Kindles • Grading policy will stay the same • Accelerated pace– You can do it!

  7. This week: • We will take a released multiple choice exam • We will score it • We will discuss answers • Passbacks: Grades have been finalized for over 2 weeks now • If you did not highlight changes on an essay or submit the original graded essay, expect to see “no change”

  8. In your notebook: • For 3 minutes: • List as many questions as you possibly can about this semester • Or anything else I may be able to answer
