Greetings APES,
As you know, this Saturday was the mock exam. I'm sure it will prove helpful for those few who showed up to take it.
This coming week we will continue with our study of poetry. Please refer to the list I posted last week and read through those poems. Also, continue reading Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, as we will be discussing it in class soon. I expect to to complete a major works data sheet for the novel, so I have posted a blank one on my Moodle page. I have also made links for you to upload your MWDS and Socratic discussion questions for PotAaaYM.
I really enjoyed our poetry discussions on Friday, and I want to continue with our analysis of "The Emperor of Ice-Cream." Let me caution you against reading more into a text than can be supported. Also, let me encourage you to delve into those interpretations that can be supported with gusto. Don't be afraid to say what you think, but do be prepared to prove it.
On Tuesday, we will briefly visit the lab to register for Moodle and enroll in my classes. The remainder of the week (and a goodly portion of the next) will be spent reading and discussing poetry, reviewing the MC questions from your midterms and on other poetry, and writing timed essays on poetry prompts.
I am looking forward to our joint endeavors.
See you in the 223,
Mrs. SO
