With trips to Europe and colleges, with illnesses and field trips and distractions of all kinds, you might be wondering "What's going on in AP English?"
Here's your answer...
1. Your education essay is due tonight (Friday) by pumpkin time. Put your essay in the comment box here.
2. Work on the AP multiple choice packet. Finish sets 1 and 2 by Monday, April 25. (Those of you who left for Europe earlier this week got a slightly different packet.) Take the work seriously. Do what you think will be most beneficial. If you want to time yourself and treat it like a test do that. If it will help you most to look up unknown vocabulary and unknown terms do that. If you want to collaborate with a peer do that. (I will check that you have completed the work.)
3. Create a thesis and a plan for your independent reading and research paper. I spoke with nearly all of you this week and look forward to discussing your theses and plans after vacation. (I will want to take a look at your thesis and plan.)
4. After vacation we're going to read one work book together. A-block has decided to read As I Lay Dying and F-block was split evenly 8 v 8 between As I Lay Dying and Slaughterhouse-Five. Take your pick. Some of you wanted to get a head start so I gave you books on Friday. If you weren't in class on Friday but want to get a head start check out the Sawyer Free Library: here for As I Lay Dying and here for Slaughterhouse-Five. After vacation you'll have 10 days to read before the exam which will mean 26 pages/day for As I Lay Dying or 22 pages/day for Slaughterhouse-Five.
