AP Literature (pink)- Mrs. Li
(The following schedule is subject to change in the course of the week.)
Students may be given pop-quizzes on readings at any time.
Schedule for the week of May 11, 2020
Tuesday - Review "The Inheritance of Loss" essays
Wednesday - Log in to take exam no later than 1:30
Thursday - Recap on exam
Schedule for the week of May 4, 2020
Tuesday - Students should have written an essay in response to the prompt on The Mayor of Casterbridge and watched the Lessons that AP is providing that cover responses to this prompt.
In this class we will determine what students who have opted not to take the exam should be working on as well as what we will do in classes following the exam. I will suggest that we read Much Ado About Nothing and watch the Kenneth Branagh movie of the play.
Thursday - I will assign the next practice prompt for students taking the exam. Students not taking the exam should have read the first
act of Much Ado About Nothing. Of course, students who are not writing assigned practice prompts could have a reading quiz at any time.
