Intensives and Winter Break Work

Fare Thee Well, 11th Grade ELA!   We will meet again in January. In the meantime, please continue reading your classics book club books. The goal is for you to read throughout both intensives and break. Below, I outline your official assignment and then some ways to prepare for the regents.  Keep your amazing brains active in this way! Have a wonderful experience in your intensives and learn, learn, learn!
*Remember my email: ckingham@me.com

Due by 1/4/15 (Don't Wait!) 
  • Finish your classic book.  (if you finish soon...please get another one or an independent book!)
  • Update page numbers on goodreads.com at least three times to show you are reading.
  • Add two informal commentaries reflecting on central ideas and literary elements you’re noticing (no more than a paragraph)
  • Respond to at least two of your book club member’s commentaries

Optional Regents Preparation- if you'd like to do some regents prep work, that's a REALLY GOOD IDEA.

Multiple Choice Review

  • Take a practice test - they are linked here with answer keys 
  • Once you've checked yourself, review any topics/content/vocab that tripped you up
  • Continue to collect your review of literary elements!

Part 2 Practice

  • This is the part you practice for most often in all of your classes- creating an argument using text support. We will spend a lot of time on this when we get back, but if you'd like to practice one try one out from the test link!
  • When you look at the old tests, notice that there are also MODEL essays and the rubrics are there- spend some time reading other students and discerning what they are doing content and structure wise.  

Part 3 Practice


Part 3 Practice:
You can practice from the actual test, but I think at this point consider reading one or more of the short stories below and answer the usual part 3 prompt (prompt is to the right!) Here's the rubric link, as well..
