Monday, April 9, 2012

Due 4/10

Read as much of Chapter 2 as possible, although as a minimum, you should make it to "My heart is calm now. I will go back". There should be a physical break following this section.

Here are Chapter 2 notes.


Study goals for the week:

*Attend Wednesday review session OR Review a poetry prompt and essays on file.
*Practice at least ONE multiple choice passage. Page 54 of the AP Lit and Comp course description is the beginning of a multiple choice test (with answers following.) (In other words, do one prose passage or one poetry passage, etc. You can do the whole test if you want, but I thought one section might be more reasonable as a goal).

Due 4/6 Portrait Chapter 1, part 1

Your chapter one reading assignment will go from the beginning of chapter one and end with the sentence: "Stephen, raising his terror stricken face, saw that his father's eyes were full of tears." Most books will have a physical break after this line, so that should also help mark your stopping point.


Chapter 1 Notes are available here. Please at least read the background statements at the beginning, but I strongly encourage printing out a copy as using them as a resource.

I'm also including a rough draft of the Portrait Reading/AP test prep calendar. I have specified activities for test prep days at this time, but the calendar contains information about a long-term review assignment, and other test related info. I'll update when/if I am able to specify more review activities.
