WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
AP ENGLISH
MONDAY, APRIL 7TH:
Today I will be flying home and tomorrow - if all goes well - I will be back!
Today, please work on the next prompt which deals with delirium in CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. This is NOT a free day!
Your two essays - the above essay and the other one covering Svidrigaylov’s suicide - will be due on Tuesday, April 8th.
TUESDAY, APRIL 8TH:
Yippee! I’m back and I hope I’m feeling better!
Today your two essays will be due. There will be a discussion on the prompts, and on some writing tips.
We will break into pairs or groups of three and read and edit each other’s papers.
Then the papers will be turned in.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9TH:
Today, if everything goes according to plan - and it rarely does - your eagerly awaited grammar book AND a new novel - Franz Kafka’s THE METAMORPHOSES - will be passed out to you!
In your English Workshop; “Varying Sentence Beginnings”; pages 95 through 98; exercises 9, 10 and 11 will be assigned to you. This will be due on Monday, April 20th.
Journal: What would you do if you woke up one morning and discovered that you had turned into a giant repulsive bug? What do you think your parents, siblings, friends and boy/girl friends would think or do? What do you think your reaction would be?
We will read a little bit about that existential man, Franz Kafka.
THURSDAY, APRIL 10TH:
Your next essay on CRIME AND PUNISHMENT is due today. This is the essay that deals with religious symbolism and irony. You might also want to bring up in your essay the many references to Lazuras.
We will do a little exercise that will showcase existentialism. It may remind you a little too much of school.....
FRIDAY, APRIL 11TH:
Today we will begin reading the story together, then we will break into groups of three, read aloud, write brief summaries, notate any literary tropes we happen to encounter, and copy any quotations we find particularly interesting due to the literary tropes or that illuminate the theme or character(s).
We will then come back together as a class near the end of the period and discuss the pages we have read.
For homework we will read fifteen pages from where we left off in class. For our homework, we will write brief summaries of the plot, notate literary tropes we encounter on our journey, and copy down any quotation(s) we find particularly interesting due to the literary trope(s) used, or the illumination it casts on the theme or the character(s). You should find at least two quotations per reading session.
DON’T FORGET TONIGHT WE ARE SEEING CRIME AND PUNISHMENT AT 8 PM AT THE HOLLYWOOD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AT 1760 NORTH GOWER. IT’S BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD AND FRANKLIN. TICKETS ARE ALREADY PAID FOR.
Please be there by 7:30. The play starts at 8 pm and will end by 9:20 pm. Remember, attending this play is worth almost as much as those hard essays you have to write. This will be the easiest “A” you will ever receive in this class.
