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?

Greetings Sophomores,

The year is winding to an end, but we still have work to do. We've lost a week because of the tornadoes, and that will affect our schedule, but let's strive to get as much learning done as we can. Below is our schedule for the rest of the week:

A class:
Monday: Test on the Romantic Period and quizzes on vocabulary lessons 19 and 20
Thursday: Over-view of Transcendentalism and Anti-Transcendentalism

B classes:
Tuesday: Test review and quizzes on vocabulary lessons 19 and 20
Wednesday: Test on the Romantic Period and introduction to Transcendentalism
Friday: I will be busy with senior activities, so you will have a substitute. You will need your books. I will give you more information or update this blog before then.

ALL STUDENTS MUST BRING BOOKS FOR A BOOK CHECK ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

See you in class!
