Greeting Students!
I hope you had a restful weekend. I am hoping, also, that this week proves profitable to you all. To achieve that end, we will, with hope, complete the following activities:
Pre-APEnglish 10
Monday and Tuesday we will review the practice test for the end of course that you completed last Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday we will resume our study of Puritan poetry. We will apply the TPCASTT poetry analysis method to the poems "Upon the Burning of our House...," "Huswifery," and "Upon a Wasp Chilled with Cold." I particularly want you to pay attention to the shifts and figurative language in these poems.
Friday you will take another EOC test. This one is NOT practice. You will earn a grade on it, so do your best.

Do NOT forget Saturday's AP session from 8:30-2:00.
See you all in class!
Mrs. SO
