AP SCHEDULE
FOR
THE WEEK OF
MARCH 13TH
Good morning, scholars and artists!
I hope you had a wonderful fun-filled weekend! Now, back to work!
Monday, March 13th:
We are going to read John Donne’s “Meditations” and do a multiple choice question excerpt over the reading.
I am also going to check out your vocabulary and grammar books to you - sorry, I know they’re not fun, but they are necessary! - I’m going to assign Unit 4 to you in your vocabulary books. Please be aware that the new books I am giving you are different from the old books some of you have kept from last year. The words are the same; however, the format is different. The homework will be due on Friday, March 17th.
I will also pass out your grammar book to you and assign pages 189 - 190; “Dangling Modifiers”; exercises 6 and 7. This will be due on Thursday, March 16th.
Tuesday, March 14th:
Your wee little open-book test over the 1600’s -1700’s will be due today, which we will go over.
We will also go over Andrew Marvell (page 288) and his poem, “To HIs Coy Mistress” (page 289 - 290) so please remember to bring your book to class today.
I am also going to give you another wee open book, take-home test over some more literature of the 1600’s - 1700’s. This will be due on Monday, March 20th.
We will also have a little unit on tone in poetry, which might be helpful.
Wednesday, March 15th:
We will begin working on the poetry terms and poetry terms will be assigned today and due dates given.
We will do multiple choice questions over an excerpt by Boswell over Samuel Johnson.
Thursday, March 16th:
Your grammar will be due today and because we all dislike grammar so much we will zip through it as quickly as possible.
You will also be given the same fun assignment you were given last semester which is finding literary excerpts and analyzing them. In order to receive an “A” on this assignment, you need to do five analyses on works of significant literary value.
We will also go over some works by John Dryden and Alexander Pope.
I figure that if you can read and understand 16th -17th Century poetry then you can read and understand anything else the AP test throws at you.
Friday, March 17th:
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Your vocabulary Unit 4 is due today! We will briefly go over it. The test will be on Tuesday, March 21st - the spring equinox! Remember, you HAVE TO TURN IN YOUR FRANKENSTEIN LONG FORM! If you don’t then you will receive an “F” on the first grading period! On Monday, we will begin work on the Romantic poets - Shelley, Byron, Keats, etc. Be prepared to write your first essay next week over a comparison between John Keats poem “O Star” and Robert Frost’s “Something Like a Star”.
