AP English Literature Period 1

I have made my final decision regarding the Senior Reflective Essay. After speaking with several teachers and an administrator, I did learn that the Senior Grade Due Date was changed.  Nevertheless, I am a firm believer in the importance of reflection, and beginnings and endings. Graduation from high school is an important chapter in your lives, and you should cherish written reflection about your experience here at King Drew.  To that end, those of you who carried a grade of "A" or "B" at the ten week marking period must write the essay, but you may limit, if you can, you response to two to three pages. This means that you can laser in on one class, or one or two experiences, should you choose.  Since it is for English, you bet I want to see some sort of literary text that moved you in some way either by how it was taught, how you read it or experienced it, etc. It doesnt have to be from AP Lit.

To those of you who carried a "C" or below, you must thoughtfully compose the entire 4 plus pages of the essay. You need it to boost your grade beyond a shadow of a doubt.  You may stop by to discuss or work on your essay tomorrow after school if you have time. This applies to everyone in periods 1 and 6.
