WEEKLY SCHEDULE FOR AMERICAN LITERATURE NOVEMBER 1, 2004 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST: The first draft of your third and fourth paragraphs will be due today. If I have not given specific approval to do short stories from the anthology, do not assume that it’s all right for you to choose short stories and turn those in for your literary analysis. It will SERIOUSLY IMPACT YOUR GRADE IF YOU MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION! Also do not even think that you are going to substitute a short story....say the excerpt from BLACK BOY to be found in the anthology by....say, Richard Wright ....and try to pass it off as a full fledged literary analysis (where you actually read the 344 page autobiography which you didn’t because you only read a four page excerpt from the book). A few years ago someone else tried to do that and that person wound up failing the class. So be honest! If you didn’t bother reading anything, shame on you, but come to me and we will work something out. TUESDAY,...

SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 25TH, 2004 FOR AP ENGLISH LITERATURE MONDAY, OCTOBER 25TH: Good morning, scholars! Today your first literary term analysis is due. You remember that one - where you find an example of a literary term (for example: extended metaphor, synecdoche, etc.) and write a one to two paragraph analysis on it. I’ll give you a couple of hints: for stream-of-conscious, look at Molly Bloom’s speech in ULYSSES, or for an example of litotes or understatement check out Joseph Heller’s CATCH-22; for synecdoche look at the carriage scene in MADAME BOVARY. Happy hunting! We are just going to read OEDIPUS AT COLONUS, and we will continue reading until we finish it. Then we will discuss the nine essay questions and you will then choose one which will probably - realistically - be due on Monday, November 1st. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26TH: The Unit Three Vocabulary test will be given when we finish reading OEDIPUS AT COLONUS. I hope that it will be on Tuesday;...
