AP English Literature Period 4

Spring Break Assignments--
1. Be sure to order your copy of your next ltierature circle novel that is either written by a female, or has a female protagonist; or deals with a woman's experience.  The agreed upon novel's are: Kindred by Octavia Butler; The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood; Caucasia by Danzy Senna; Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston; and lastly, Through the Butterflies (?) by Julia Alvarez. Have these novels in hand on when we arrive from Spring break. In fact, since there is no school on Monday, March 28th, you will need to read the first 30 pages before Wednesday, March 30th.
2. Complete your AP Practice Multiple Choice Test that was distributed in class on Tuesday. Be sure to categorize your questions on a different sheet of paper for easy grading.
3. For each prompt: 2 poetry and 2 prose, carefully read and identify 12 devices or techniques for each text. 
4. Use the verbs for literary analysis (vocabulary) and for each passage, select ten verbs applicable to that passage. Write ten (10) sentences per passage (you will have 40 total sentences).
5. Construct a thesis statement for each prompt.
Remember: please do not consult any electronic source for assistance in identifying literary techniques or writing. Such is a violation of academic integrity!
No reading of King Lear needed for Spring Break.
