Dancing in Each Other's Brainstorms: April 29, 2020

Focus: What can you learn from each other's brainstorming?

1. Warming up: This isn't due until Friday, but consider getting it done today or doing more than one!

• Watch the A.P. Lit review session that will help you the most; add your name and takeaways to this document (and here's the screencast explaining this assignment, also posted above).

2. Taking a look at each other's cumulative essay brainstorming and loose thesis statements:

• Spend about 10-15 minutes perusing your classmates' prompts and book lists, which they have posted on their blogs.

• Leave comments on others' blogs in the comment section underneath the post.

• Since my brain is limiting my ability to give you feedback speedily, your comments are more important than ever! Thank you for helping each other out!
