Dialectical Journals

Directions: In order to “close read” the novel, you will need to maintain a

Dialectical Journal (DJ) Chart.

Significance/importance of the quote:

• Characterization: the passage reveals important information about a certain

character

• Figurative language/symbolism: the scene includes elements of these

• Theme: the quote directly connects to the author’s purpose and audience

Follow these directions when filling out your DJ charts:

Three parts:

Include the quote with the page number in parenthesis.

Context: What is happening in the scene when the quote is said?

Analysis: Analyze the quote. Why does the quote matter? Why is it im-

portant? Are there Literary Devices? Character development? Is it con-

nected to theme?

Your commentary/analysis/questions should answer the basic

question “Why have I chosen this scene for inclusion in the chart?”

Or what question(s) does this scene raise for me? Set up a table on

your word processing program to look like the table below using

the two columns and headings listed there. Be sure to add more

rows when needed.

*You should have at least 20 entries* with advanced level

analysis

EXAMPLE

Spider-Man (2002)

Quote

Response

(context, analysis, interpretation,

synthesis or application)

Uncle Ben Parker: “With great power

comes great responsibility” (82).

Context: Uncle Ben tells Peter Par-

Thompson.

Analysis: This suggests that Uncle

Ben is wise for various reasons. Ra-

ther than scold Peter for his behav-

ior, he provides a message that Pe-

ter can apply to life. This foreshad-

ows how and if Peter will take this

advice and apply it to his life

as Spiderman and/or the teenager.

AP Physics Summer Assignment 2021-2022

AP Chemistry Summer Assignment 2021-2022

Welcome to AP Physics 1! AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics

course. Students cultivate their understanding of physics through inquiry-based investigations

as they explore these topics: kinematics; dynamics; circular motion and gravitation; energy; mo-

mentum; simple harmonic motion; torque and rotational motion; electric charge and electric force;

DC circuits; and mechanical waves and sound. While AP Physics 1 is Algebra based, it does not

mean that the course is easy. There is a lot of analytical reasoning and application of mathematical

practices. The course is not about solving problems, although there will be a lot of problem solving.

It is about understanding the underlying laws of physics that pertain to everyday situations, and

then applying those laws to predict what will happens in new situations. In addition, the course is

a laboratory based course where students will graphically analyze data that they collect. In order

for students to be able to focus on the physics principles being studied, they need to be comfortable

with many mathematical skills learned previously. Completing this packet will help you review

some key skills and identify topics that you need to brush up more on prior to the start of class.

The following skills are needed in order to be successful in AP Physics: 1. Graphing data and ex-

tracting meaning from it

2. Solving an equation for a needed variable

3. Substituting numbers and expressions

4. Basic right angle trigonometry
