Seniors
I have attached a copy of the finalized list of terms for your exam. The definitions are due on Tuesday, December 2nd. Please use Webster's (generally the first listed, or the one in blue), and avoid using obsolete or archaic definitions. I will go over the list on Monday to clear any confusion due to derivatives or cyclical definitions.
I will give you two quizzes before the end of the semester, 25 terms each. These terms, along with the rhetorical terms, will form the basis for half of the mid-term exam. The other half will be an essay.
Your in-class essay this week is based on an AP prompt:
Sophomores
Read Act III of Macbeth in preparation for a quiz tomorrow. Also, you have optional questions on p381: comprehension check and #2-5. As always, write in complete sentences and make specific references to the text.
I have given the honors students an extension until Thursday (or before) for their assignment, which is an article summary of a piece from the Guardian UK on "Witch marks."

Your in-class essay this week is based on an AP prompt:
Contemporary life is marked with controversy. Choose a controversial local, national, or global issue with which you are familiar. Then, using appropriate evidence, write an essay that carefully considers the opposing positions on this controversy and proposes a solution or compromise.Notice that although the prompt is vague when it comes to topic, it is very specific when it comes to the essay itself. You are to (1) choose a topic with which you are familiar, (2) use appropriate evidence, (3) carefully consider the opposing positions -- in other words, BOTH sides, and (4) propose a solution or compromise. DO NOT bring any sources or notes from sources to class. You MAY bring an outline.
