APEnglish 12: April 18-22, 2011

Greetings APEs!
And welcome back from your holiday. It's amazing how quickly the year has passed. We have very few days left together, and even fewer before the AP exam.

Our time must be spent wisely, so please try not to let senioritis grasp you too firmly. This week we meet but two days. On Tuesday we will be discussing Heart of Darkness in depth. I do hope you are prepared. I will also be giving you a variety of prompts for which you must compose competent and complete thesis statements that encompass the entire question. Remember, it is most important for you to mention what you believe to be the meaning of the work or the complexity of it, if that is what the prompt asks.

On Friday, we will begin reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. It is important for you to have a basic understanding of existentialism  and theatre of the absurd for you to grasp the significance of this play.

Of course you should also be preparing your final exam, which consists of an explication and a presentation. Your presentation can incorporate any visual aids you may need. You can create a PPT or a handout or you may simply use the whiteboard or projector.

So much to do...so little time!!!

See you in class,

Mrs. SO
