Staying on Top of Your Game: February 7, 2018

Focus: How can you find success in A.P. Literature this week?

1. Warming with a brief quiz: Academic Vocabulary, Set 4 and meeting Academic Vocabulary, Set 5!

2. Offering you a a quick style tune-up on yesterday's writing

3. Taking time to either read Invisible Man, compose your final reading ticket, or find your poem for tomorrow's metacognitive

Pick a poem that challenges you; by the end of 55 minutes of metacognitive writing, you should understand the poem better, but perhaps not fully.

If you're looking for something different, may I recommend e.e.cummings?

Old School:
Books and anthologies

New School:
Contemporary literary journals
Poetry In Voice (it's like Spotify, but for poems)

HW:
1. For TOMORROW: Decide on your paper/project poem and bring it to class (electronically or hard copy). It must be from a different time period than your first semester poem. You will spend all of Thursday performing a metacognitive on it. Bring your laptop to class. When you know which poem you're venturing into, sign up HERE.

2. For Friday: FINISH INVISIBLE MAN FOR YOUR FINAL SOCRATIC SEMINAR! YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS IT!
