Since we incorporated AP multiple choice practice and timed essay writing, we did not discuss as many short stories as I anticipated. For this reason, we are still participating in a short story boot camp. As you already know, this reading workout will culminate in an analytical essay based on one or a combination of the stories we have read. The next stories we read will be "Fifteen Minutes in the Life of Larry Weller," which I will give you in a handout, "Miss Brill," found on page 134 of your texts, "The Cask of Amontillado," pg. 528, "A Rose for Emily," pg. 81, "The Yellow Wallpaper," pg. 588, and "I Stand Here Ironing," pg. 608." We will also read the story "Once Upon a Time." Please come prepared to discuss each of these stories.
While we may not get to all of these stories in one week, we will discuss them, so read ahead.
On Tuesday, we will evaluate the timed essays you wrote on Friday. On Friday we will have a vocabulary quiz on the E words from your SAT vocabulary list.
Thanks to those of you who showed up on Saturday, Sept. 17 for the first AP Prep Session. Happy Birthday, TOM! I'll be awarding extra credit points based upon the time your spent with us.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
