How To Read Like an A.P. Lit Student: August 20, 2019

Focus: How do we use Foster's ideas to develop our identities as readers?

Please have out your summer reading assignments at the beginning of class.

1. Warming up with "I Am Offering This Poem" and the poetry response

*Feel first; think second.*

2. Sharing your summer responses to Foster in small groups

• Underline / highlight your favorite line or two from your response.

• Read it to your group and explain why you chose it.

• Respond to the lines being read aloud (in other words, converse like normal humans might).

***Quick break to establish a screen-free zone and to set up your notebooks***

3. Using Foster to (re)interpret two scenes:

• A lunch scene

• Tunneling to freedom

• Which chapters/lines from How To Read Literature Like a Professor might apply to these clips? How so?

• What do you see now that might have been invisible to you before?

4. Joining the A.P. online classroom and exploring this semester via the syllabus
