AP English Literature Periods 1 & 2

I do hope that you enjoyed a little respite from AP English Literature. Previously, I mentioned the need for you to read The Glass Menagerie, and I included a link to the PDF under class readings. You do not need to read the play before coming back to school. Instead, you will read it as your first Independent Text & discuss in literature circles. Please download it, and plan on printing it in preparation for having the first Act read by Thursday. 2. Visit the Official Website of Oscar Wilde--see link under Class Readings. Read his entire biography, paying particular attention to his parents and their education/accomplishments; familiar events (deaths, etc.) Make an index card--front and back-- of information about Mr. Wilde that is of interest to you. Include two quotes that are of interest to you as well. As a note, his official biography on the link site is 4 pages long..you must scroll to the bottom and advance the page. Also, on the site there is a separate place for quotes. On Tuesday, I will assess your reading of his biography (think quiz).
