AP English Literature

Tomorrow, I expect a new paragraph using the TEARS method in which you write about one or two syntactical or rhetorical techniques from your released AP English Literature Prose Question 2. 2. Download and print the excerpts to the right from Antigone from Fitzgerald and Roche. DO the usual: read and annotate each passage looking for distinct choices in diction and syntax. When you din enough. Write one paragraph: How does the tone/or character of either Antigone or Ismene differ in the two translations based on diction and syntax... Or-- What is the difference in tone in the two versions.

Literature Circle Text Requirements

Dear AP English Literature Students in periods 1 and 2: I have posted the requirements for literature circles. Please download the handout; read it and then do some online browsing for a text. Homework: For each category, and there are four, google two or three of the titles (more if needed) and pick your top two choices from each category. Write these choices down (you will have a total of 8)on a sheet of paper. Try to contact others to see what texts they have chosen to see if any match your top choices.

Proof

Dear Students, Many of you might have received incomplete copies of the play "Proof". I have uploaded the play in its entirety (37 pages) and listed it under Classroom Readings. Please read the entire play in preparation for discussion on Monday; and the play on Tuesday. Additionally, remember that you must have a sack lunch for the field trip. We will not visit any eateries as there are none in the vicinity of the Broad Stage.

AP English Literature Period 1

Remember to download the Major Data Works Sheet. You need ten quotes from Oedipus at Colonus in the Quotes Section. Also, you need to identify those words with a + for positive tone, a "n" for a neutral tone, and a - minus, for a negative tone. Tomorrow, we will share our quotes; look more at tone and syntax, and prep for Oedipus in class essay, test and new unit--Poetry.
