AP Lit: Novel Focus

Memorize quotations. Analyze keys scenes. You will be handing in your notes before writing the essay on Wednesday.

Great work on Hamlet this week.

We'll go over the multiple choice test on Monday and we'll start doing a few each day to prepare for the exam. Don't despair. You'll get this! It's a great opportunity for testing your comprehension skills, your knowledge of literary terms, and your ability to infer. I will only include your best marks so if you do not do well on one or two practice tests, so be it.

If you were absent today, get the NOTES for sure as we discussed sol. 6 (Why Hamlet does not kill Claudius) and we read all of the Bedroom Scene, the final scene in Act 3. Make sure you read all of the final scene and make notes. Pay particular attention to the changes in Hamlet as they resonate with sol. 6 from the previous scene.  We watched the film version as well and we read our novels for the first 15 minutes. Please make up the time missed.
