AP English Literature Period 1 and 2

Good Morning! I hope that all enjoyed your break and that is one of rest. I feel compelled to remind you that you will begin your line recitals tomorrow! We will proceed in the order of the lines in the play. If you are in Act 1, Act 2 be prepared to recite your lines tomorrow. ALL STUDENTS MUST, however BE DRESSED AND IN COSTUME. In order to finish, we must hear at least 15 students on each recital day. Absent students are not allowed to make up their lines, unless they have a MEDICAL NOTE FROM A HOSPITAL OR DOCTOR with a Physician Name and Phone number within the last three to five days. 2. We will continue studying and analyzing Poetry, continuing with our study of The Sonnet. Please find, lol, your AP Perrine Literature Text as reading will be assigned for classwork/homework near the end of this week. 3. We will also read The Three Theban Plays, also known as the Oedipus Tragedy. If you would like to order the book, the author is Sophocles, but the translator is Paul Roche. The book is red, and a few copies are indeed available at Barnes and Noble Manhattan Beach. We will begin reading it on Monday, December 9th. Much of your reading will occur in class and without me! 4. Your Final Exam will include Multiple Choice Questions on King Lear; Passage Analysis from Lear; Oedipus; Poetry Analysis of Sonnets; and Literary Terms, and a free response question. Your Final is modeled after the AP Exam and you will need the entire 2.5 hours allotted to you! . Finally, to those students who do not currently have a grade of A, or B in AP English Literature: Between your lines, your Independent Reading Work, Poetry Classwork, Oedipus Work, and the Final Exam you have the chance to earn between 300-400 points. Please do not ask for any more extra credit. Most of the work assigned will take the form of both classwork, homework and participation. Please do not miss class, please do not miss quizzes or exams, no excuses! YOU have three weeks of the Fall Semester! Get it done!
