Now Is Your Time--Don't Miss It: March 31, 2020

Focus: What are you wondering about online A.P. Literature?

1. Warming up:


Today, Sam rode a bike without training wheels for the first time. Because of his heart condition and his open-heart surgeries, he wasn't allowed anywhere near a bike for many summers of his life. But today, Sam rode a bike.

I think now is the time to do the thing you think you cannot do. Don't miss it.

2. Entertaining our curiosity with an optional Q&A session at 1:30 (there's a Zoom invitation in your school e-mail)

3. Working on your culminating essay prompt and book list (20 minutes)
  • If you need some help, check out the one I did by clicking HERE!
  • Also, take another look at the guidelines (in your blue folder and linked here). This assignment will be significantly modified (instead of a giant, formal essay, it will be a series of still-intense-but-less-formal blog entries), but the first step remains the same.
HW:
1. For TONIGHT: 
  • Post your culminating essay prompt and booklist on your blog before you go to bed tonight.
2. For Thursday: 
  • Complete your timed writing on "The Landlady." Preferably, please type it and share it with me. If that's not possible, you can send me a photo, but my feedback won't be as detailed.
  • Join our live workshop on Thursday from 1:30-2:00. If you can't make the live session, please watch the recorded session.

3. For Friday: 
  • Fall back in love with you book club book! Skim back through the parts that you've already read, and make sure you're caught up with the reading and syllabus you originally assigned for Book Club Meeting #3.
  • Find a 30-minute time (and online platform) to meet with your book club. 
  • Make sure your syllabus is in your shared folder, and keep notes on it during your meeting.
