Old and New: November 8, 2017

Focus: How do we approach prose passages in the MC section of the AP Lit test?

Please turn in printed copies of your sonnet essays with the checklist initialed and stapled to the top by 3:00 pm today.

1. Warming up with your 12-week literary term review on www.quizlet.com:

• 1st 6 weeks
• 2nd 6 weeks

2. Revisiting yesterday's prose passage by coding the types of questions and teaching each other how to figure out the tough ones

3. Trying out an older prose passage with a focus on the first inch and the last inch

HW:
1. For today: Finish and PRINT your sonnet essay (hard copy due by 3:00 pm Wednesday). Stop by for a conference if you'd like some help. Initial the checklist and staple it to the top.

2. For Friday:

• Please read Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 in Beloved. Complete your next reading ticket following the new Socratic ticket guidelines. If you'd like more of a focus, trying focusing your ticket on one word you've taken notice of the in the novel so far (perhaps because it's repeated, or because Morrison's using it in a new way).

• All revisions, make-up work, etc. from the past 6 weeks is due by Friday, Nov 10.
