AP English Literature Periods 1 and 3

1. First and foremost: GET SOME REST! Take a walk! GO to Yogurtland! Have some juice! The next thing is to review your novels throughly. Think of new ways to think about your stories for example---what picture of siblings is communicated by their treatment in King Lear; or Oedipus or even Things Fall Apart or your own independently read novels? 2. What about women? Are women agents of their own independence, or do they act only to been seen by men? 3. What about minorities and people of color? How are they represented in your independent novels? There were some handouts given out in perod 1-- a handout on Things Fall Apart, and in Period 3--The Myth of Sisphysus.

AP English Literature Students Both Classes

Did you miss a class session because you visited a college or were ill? Are you worried about your grade? If so, then you may be able to make up one assignment--up to 25 points for attending an AP Exam Review. In order to make up the points, you must attend the entire worksession--be on time, and not leave until dismissed. YOu must particpate and turn in any type of review assignment, essay, or practice exam. I will conduct two reviews: One on Thursday, May 2nd, afterschool and one on Friday at lunch on May 3rd; and finally one on Monday, May 6th afterschool. You may attend more than one, but you may not attend more than two to make up a missed class assignment--only 15 points will be given for a lunch session since the time available to us is considerably less. You may bring snacks and food if you like. Please come prepared with your notebook, novels, etc. Also, if possible, how many students could possibly attend a Saturday review session from 8-10:30? If this is something you are interested in, please let me know as soon as possible.
