Greetings APEs!
I looked at my calendar and nearly had heart failure. I cannot believe we have so little time left before the big exam! This will be a major cram time, reading, writing and discussion as much as possible, so long as quality discussion is allowed for.
Don't forget that you need to write a MWDS for Heart of Darkness. This sheet must be uploaded by Monday, April 23. You will also be expected to discuss HoD in class, so be prepared with specific examples from the text that you want to look at more closely and with open-ended questions about the text by Monday also.
Expect some MC questions on HoD and both an open-ended (q3) essay and a passage based (q2) essay. The two essays will be written in ONE class period to help you prepare for the time constraints of the exam.
This week IN class we will finish reading and watching selected clips from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Look back to last week's blog to review the major ideas of Existentialism. Be prepared to write one q3 essay on this text after a class discussion of it.
Our next text for in class reading will be the play The Glass Menagerie. You can read some preliminary background about the author, Tennessee Williams, here.
Here is an entire dissertation on the symbolism in TGM, for anyone who's interested.
Like I said...so much to do!
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
