AP Lit: Thesis needed for Wednesday's essay . . .

I will give you the first thirty minutes to prepare your essay. Please show me your thesis during this time.

We'll continue the soliloquy presentation and discuss the thematic implications of Act 1. Be prepared to present soliloquies 3 and 4 asap.

If you did not achieve a 7, 8, or 9 on last week's essay-write, be sure to read peer essays or ask me for samples so that you know what is expected: examples, insight, discussion of techniques such as syntax, tone, diction, motif, setting, character development and always keep the focus on answering the question. To do so means preparing the question before you begin to write so that you are clear.
