AP Lit: See you here at 7:30 . . . Bring goodies to share if you like . . .

 Meet in my room at 7:30 if you'd like goodies. I'm picking up Tessa and Shannon so don't panic if we are a little late. We'll be here.

Tonight as you study, breathe, relax, enjoy.

You saw how much you enjoyed the practice today--how engaging it is. How skilled you are so tomorrow will be a breeze if you are well rested, confident, have some protein and carbs in your bellies and you have extra pens and pencils, a water bottle and a watch.

We'll dance and laugh at the break so that your body won't even remember the multiple choice questions. You can still get a 5! A 3, 4, or 5 gets you first year credit at most post-secondary institutions.

Review:
Elizabethan sonnet
Petrarchan sonnet
Pastoral elements

You are definitely prepared. Expect great results.
