AP Literature TFA Discussion and Test Prep Session

Dear AP English Lit Class-- I have to reschedule our planning session. I have a dental appointment Monday that I forgot to cancel :(. Please let me know if Tuesday at 9 works well for you all? You may simply email me at mslrguy@gmail.com In the meantime, please do the following:

1. Read all of Things Fall Apart. Be sure you understand the method the missionaries "slipped" into the Ibo village of Umuofia.
2. Understand why Nwoye joins the Christians. Also be able to describe the other groups who join the Christians: the osu and the efulefu.
3. By now, you should be thinking about the social ramifications of having an "intruder" enter a society. Also thin about the words: outcast; hierarchy; division; weakest link.
4.Be sure you have read both the Open Response (orange) and Prose Response handouts. Mark these.

I hope to see all those registered students on Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at from 9-11 a.m. Please let me know via email if this works for you. If you know you and another student will be there, include that in the email. If this does not work for at least 10 students I will reschedule. Please be sure to check back Monday after 6:30 or text (310) 945-8670.
