Mock Exam!

We will have our AP Language and Composition mock exam Thursday December 16th in my room from 7:15-10:15am.

We need to practice timing and pacing, which we can only do by actually practicing. I hope you discern our mock exam to be most tolerable.

Hamlet Papers Due This Wednesday or Thursday

Please don't forget that the final draft of your much belabored papers are due. I look forward to reading them.

Blog of the Week

Nicolas Zuleta's blog has been extraordinarily surprising and insightful lately. Take a look:

Draft Ideas for a Paper

This week I'd like you to finish Pride and Prejudice. I'd like to see four entries that deal with a topic you might focus on in a paper. This could be very informal, notes essentially, so don't get too caught up in form. I want to see how you are formulating interpretations.

Hamlet Papers and Pride and Prejudice

In addition to your Hamlet papers, this week you must write four blog entries that directly respond to 15-20 pages of Pride and Prejudice (roughly four chapters per blog entry). You must also comment on three other students' blogs from our class.
