AP Lit: Have your three poems ready to go . . .

Arrive with your three poems printed off so that you can start your TICK and / or your TPCASTT charts and your annotations. You need to be ready to write the essay in-class by Tuesday. We are in the lab. Wednesday will be peer editing and you will submit the draft and the good copy on Friday.

Friday and Monday's classes: Annotating the poems and creating strong thematic statements. Organizing your best evidence. Be sure to discuss key elements such as syntax, literary devices, point of view etc. in the explication of your themes.

USSR: We have finished the month of Feb. Have a look at your USSR sheet for your March choices. If you want to read a book that the school does not own, borrow a copy from the public library this weekend and bring it to class next week. We will have time Thursday to prep for the Feb. novel question. Re-read your USSR outline and how to prep the novel for the in-class composition.

You will write the essay on your Feb. novel, the first Wed. after school after the break: Wed. March 27.
