APEnglish Literature 12: Oct. 18-22

Well, one quarter is already passed. Grades come out soon. If they aren't what you were hoping, it's not to late to change the end result. Remember, participate in class, turn in every assignment, study, and try not to procrastinate, and you will be rewarded for your efforts.

This will prove another busy week. You will lose a day, with me, since Friday is the Poetry Out Loud Workshop. Wish our winners luck in preparing for the regional competition in November!

• We'll continue our study of Hamlet and watch some film clips from the Branagh production.
  
• We'll review the best methods for embedding quotations into our writing. Remember, snips or chunks of text flow more smoothly within your own sentences than a complete sentence "dropped" in the mix does.
  
• On the days I am away, you'll have another AP-style multiple choice practice with questions based on the play Hamlet.
• Also, don't forget that October is my tradition narrative-writing month. I'll be talking to you soon about an optional holiday narrative competition.

See you soon!
