AP English Literature Period 1&2 Homework

1. Complete your "one pager" be sure that you have a thesis. Underline it in your essay. 2. Visit http://dl.keywin.org/a/6/a660d071e2e96992300af73b0b57b067.pdf This is the link to an online study guide for AP English Literature. At this point, I believe the work you have done has prepared you, so try not to spend too much time reading the pointers, rather practice taking the test. Please take the Practice Test which begins on page 347 and ends on page 363 (page numbers may be different on your computer). PLEASE DONOT LOOK AT ANSWERS until after you are finished. You are to take the ENTIRE TEST including two essays: one on the poetry question; another on prose. DO NOT DO THE FREE RESPONSE, SINCE YOU ARE ALREADY DOING THAT WITH YOUR ONE PAGER. 3. You do not have to print out the exam, if you would like, write out your answers to the multiple choice on another sheet. Extra Credit for doing the Multiple Choice: 10 points (or the equivalent of 1 missed or missing journal entries). Extra Credit for doing the essays: 30 points extra credit. Why? Because it is slightly harder to cheat. Reminder: AP Review is on Monday, May 5th afterschool from 3:15-4:20. You may bring snacks or pitch in $2.00 for Pizza--I will need your donation by lunchtime. We need napkins, plates as well. If I havenot received your Major Data Worksheet for The Kite Runner (periods 1 and 2) it is due; and your Major Data Worksheet for your Independent Reading Novel (period 2) it is also due. I will accept these on Tuesday. Get some rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Many, not all of you have journals from first semester readings in class. If you have these, drop by during homeroom to pick them up and actually read. Lastly, several students have asked, "After the AP Exam, what next?" Many of you need additional points to restore your A's and B's. To that end, we will read The Fall of Rome by Martha Soutgate. It is a contemporary novel about race, class and privilege. It is a delightful, short and powerful read. If you did not order it during Winter Break, you must order it and have it by May 9th. We will then have 7 days to read 11 chapters (a chapter and a half each day). The assignments I ask of you will be done in class, as opposed to for homework. For many of you this will be the last and only opportunity to pass. If everyone does not have their own physical copy of the book on Friday, May 9th--we will not read it...and you will pretty much stay where you are in terms of points! The book is not online, nor is it an e-reader.
