AP Lit

Finish reading and making notes on Act 1. Be prepared to present your response to the question you chose for Friday's class.
If you have not yet written the section D prov. exam composition, you must submit by 3:20 today. 

Hint: never just read for AP Lit. Always read with a pen. It's not enough to simply write down quotes. Make connections. Know what you are looking for. Make inferences. Notice patterns, motifs, changes in diction.  You become better readers in this manner, of course, and it ends up taking less time. You don't have to keep re-reading and dozing off. It's called active reading. If you need help to be a better reader, let me know. I have tips.
