I am still reeling from today's presentations. They reflect passion, insight, enthusiasm, intelligence, resonance--there is hope for the future. If you can do this type of analysis---now, you will breeze through AP Lit next year and have a nice seat waiting for you in second year university. La La La
Tonight: Be prepared to present tomorrow. Write your paragraph response to Richard Lemm's poem, "A Palestinian Watches His House Burn".
Friday: Jan. USSR forms are due. We will be having a poetry cafe on Friday. Sign up to bring food to share. Breakfast theme--croissants, fruit, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bacon, tofu, whatever you love to eat. You will be marked on how well you read your poems aloud. Prepare to read two each. If your poems are short, read three.
We'll also be signing out the Literature 12 texts as well.
There is room in Lit 12 next semester so if you have a friend or two who would enjoy the class, encourage them to take it and then next year, they can join us in AP Lit. and get credit for English 12 (for free) since Lit 12 and AP Lit cover the learning outcomes for English 12, all you need to do for English 12 is write the exam, June 2014.
