AP English Literature Period 1 Agenda

AP English Literature In-Class Work
Because I use Mastery Grading, you all have the chance to revise your exam.  Several students worked hard and simply need slight revisions (including more questions about characterization and actually using the word characterization in the question). Two students don't need much revision at all. The rest of your exams need work as describe in my comments to you. Several students did not submit or upload an exam at all. Several students do not have passages in their exam. 
Your job is to use the feedback I have given you and revise your exam or submit one, in the case of those students who did not submit an exam.  Procedure: First, re-read your OWN Exam.  Do you know see some of the issues that I identified? If yes, flag those questions as problematic and begin revising those first. 
2. If you did not submit an exam--submit it. But also read these instructions to make sure your exam does what it needs to do. 
Verb/Word bank: I should read the following verbs/word in your test questions and/or answers:  purpose; characterize; depict; describe; conflict; foreshadow; literary technique; speaker; tone; is meant; reveal; demonstrate; infer; generalize; conclude.....
3. Your reflection should be uploaded in terms of what you noticed when you re-read your own exam.  So be sure to re-read your exam and discuss it when your submit your AP Reflection about the challenges and joys of creating your own test.
4. Carefully construct an AP Free/Open question that does not specifically name Oedipus, but we know Oedipus can be a text a student would use to write.
5. Submit your answers to your newly submitted exam if you made any changes.  Due dates are listed in Schoology. No late work beyond the Schoology due dates is accepted.
So, I am looking for a revised, resubmitted exam; a reflection; an Open Ended Question; and later on Thursday, for use to categorize the knowledge domains used in the revised exam. Please print a copy of your revised exam for Thursday.
