APELC Class Notes

Objectives: Students processed texts from multiple genres.

Third juniors and seniors, we began today by highlighting two opinions from last year’s Palantir about second language learning requirements in high school and then proceeded to the Vowell text. I asked you again to determine the essential, existential questions implied in the latter and we discussed possible answers to several of the interpretive questions presented after the text. Plenty of good, thoughtful discussion today.

Recall the first drafts of your descriptive piece is due Monday, and you have a reading and essay due after that. Find details on your class page.

Also remember, I’ll be collecting a note set and review on Monday; be prepared to turn any note set (Manning and Vowell, Palantir Opinion, the Carter photograph and description practices) from this week I ask for, so please make sure you’ve reviewed each according to the protocol.

Best thoughts for success to the Academic Decathletes in both APELC periods who’re off to Texas to scrimmage this weekend.

See you all next week.
