Welcome to APEnglish 12

 Welcome to Mrs. SO's APEnglish Literature and Composition Class!

I will be adding a blog entry each week to keep you updated on class events. Be sure to check here each weekend.

For the first week, we will be concentrating on active reading and reading like professors. I will also explain your summer reading assignment.

Below is a list of links to assignments and other handouts that you might need in my class. Later I will be adding links to a Moodle page as well.

Happy first week of school! I am really looking forward to our learning together this year!

Summer Time!

APEnglish (APE) Summer Reading

For those of you who will be in my AP Literature class next year, don't forget that you have three novels to read and prepare Major Works Data Sheets (MWDS) for:
The Stranger  Camus
Invisible Man Ellison
Wuthering Heights  Bronte

Below you will find links to a blank MWDS and to my Moodle page, where you should upload your completed sheets, and to a page that discusses Existentialism in brief. The Existentialism page should help you in your understanding of Camus' The Stranger. In addition to these sheets, I would like for you to come prepared for class discussion on each of these novels. Find the passages that intrigue you most or for which you have questions that you would like to pose to the class, and bring them with you to class the first day.

Bonus: What do you call all those ands in  the first sentence after the book list, and what is the purpose of using them instead of commas?
