    Quarter 3

    March 30, 2020 -- 
    Hello! I hope you are all happy and healthy (I miss you so much)!!
    Before we start on any academic work, I want you to know that you should email me if you are having any difficulties (any). 
     
    Since we cannot  meet in a physical classroom, I've moved class lessons to GoogleClassroom. All correspondence and assignments will be posted there. Since we had mapped out a plan for reading Wuthering Heights, we will stay with that schedule (delayed by two weeks, of course). 
     
    Some notes about the AP Exam: 
    The College Board is adapting to meet the needs of all during this time of crisis, but what that looks like is not fully known. Here's what I have heard: 1. There wil not be any multiple choice questions (but you should still practice what I gave you to hone your analyses), the exam will contain a 45-minute written portion. 2. If we go back to regular classes in the school, the exam will be administered there. If we don't, you will take it online. 3. The College Board is running review sessions on its YouTube channel. Here is the link. 
     
    I will check regularly with The College Board (as you should too) and update on GoogleClassroom.
     
    Here's hoping that we will meet face-to-face before the schoolyear ends!
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Note on March 19: I hope that everyone is well! Please contact me if you need anything. As for now,
    I'm not posting any work, but will after the district gives us the word. It will probably be assigned on Google Classroom, since you are all registered for it. 
    I miss you all!!! Stay healthy!!
