AP Lit: Peer Editing

If you were absent today, you must get your essay peer edited and you must edit someone's essay in order to get the peer editing marks. Essays due Friday.
Submit the good copy, the edited draft, the works cited page, the charts, the poems and the annotations.

Today: NO AFTER SCHOOL SESSION TODAY.

We did a multiple choice test during class today and I handed out a sheet of some of the difficult terms which are usually used as distractors: litotes, chiasmus, asyndeton, polysyndeton etc. Gulp. They are not difficult to learn.

Tomorrow: We will be working in groups to find the best answers to the last multiple choice test. Prizes to the group which gets the highest mark. This exercise is a terrific way to test your reading skills. Most of the answers are right under your nose but several factors interfere with finding the answers: time, anxiety, and assumptions.

OOOOH! Breathe.
