APEnglish 12: April 23-27, 2012

Greetings APE's!

As you know, we have just completed our discussions of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. As usual, you must complete a Major Works Data Sheet for this play. (Friday, April 27). Since some have indicated they have already done one for Hamlet, which I did not actually assign, I have decided to accept either/or on this MWDS assignment.

You have been reading Heart of Darkness at home (or should have been), and your MWDS for this novella is due. Please upload it to Moodle no later than Tuesday evening, April 24. If for some reason you cannot access Moodle, please email me or bring me a hard copy.

On Tuesday, bring the thesis statements you practiced for homework to class. You will select one of these for an in-class essay on R&G are D. I will return your Hamlet essays. Those of you who failed to turn one in will see the deficit on your progress report. It is imperative that you do all your assignments.

On Friday we will discuss Heart of Darkness in class, including a character analysis of the African mistress. Please review the following links prior to discussion:



Achebe, Chinua. "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'" Massachusetts Review. 18. 1977

"Heart of Darkness"--by Mark Dintenfass

The Symbol of the Wilderness in Heart of Darkness--by David Dunson

 Edit: A number of you will be on a field trip Friday, so we will practice multiple choice questions on HoD after the character analysis activity. Those who miss the class must complete the MC questions at home.

 See you in class!

Mrs. SO
