APENGLISH 12: November 28-December 2

Welcome back, APES!
I trust you had a restful holiday. I am amazed that there are but two weeks before exams. In that time we will likely write one essay, either on Othello or on Atonement. I will also ask you to write several thesis sentences on the various topics for these texts. In our class discussion of Atonement this week, consider the similar themes of the two books, such as betrayal or guilt. Are there any other correlations?

This week we will have our vocabulary quiz on M words from your SAT word list. The quiz will be on Friday. This is a B week, so we meet three times. On Tuesday we should finish our reading of Othello. On Wednesday, we will discuss the play and look at the questions that have been used with this text on the AP exam. We will also review the MC questions from that text that you did earlier. Friday we will discuss the novel Atonement after the vocabulary quiz. We will also practice thesis statements on Friday. And don't forget your MWDS are due Friday.

See you in class!

Mrs. So
