Some people wanted more structure, others were OK working at their own pace.  You can do either-- use this as a guide or just as a reminder as to what is due when.

There are links embedded in the College Board language.

Remember:  3 hours a week is the expectation.  If something is taking more time than you anticipated, just let me know.

This came from an AP reader on my AP Lang group page:

What is due on 4/20?

This is from the latest "Read Me First" letter":

Please be prepared to submit at least TWO pieces to me by April 20th through Google docs.  Please include links or MLA citations for what you have submitted. Please note that eventually everything will need to be in MLA format. 

For example:

1. Read one poem or short story that is related in a meaningful way to your research subject. 

Format: Write a one-page (250 words) analytical report on this piece. This should include appropriate MLA-styled bibliographical information about the work at the top, followed by:

• A bit of background about the author and the time period it was written.
• A summary of the plot, structure, form. Tell how the work is organized.  Some questions you might address in the report are: Is it a narrative, expository, compare/contrast, problem-solving, etc., format?  Is it told in past or present tense? Is the story told in chronological order?
• A discussion of the work’s point of view.  Is it first person (narrative)? Is there a third person narrator?  Is the narrator’s point of view limited, or omniscient? Does POV change, and if so, why?
• A discussion of the work’s setting.  Where/when does the story take place?  How does the setting influence the characters and/or the plot?
• A discussion of the author’s use of diction, syntax, possible imagery, symbolism, irony, and tone.  How do the author’s choices complement the work and/or purpose?
• A discussion of theme.  What is the underlying idea(s) of the work?  What does the author want you to think about the subject?
• Conclusion – include your opinion of the work.

AND...

2. Film or Documentary

View one film or documentary  related to your topic. It does not need to be longer than an hour; you may find that some documentaries are shorter pieces.

Format: SPACE CAT the piece, including bibliographical information following MLA style.  Then, create a ONE PAGER: are there themes present? Are there motifs pointing to the themes? Does the film reinforce popular ideas or introduce new ones? Does it trade in stereotypes? How does lighting, color, scene setting, etc. contribute to the overall purpose?

Answers to some of your questions:

Here is a LINK to a Google doc with your Google form questions and answers from me and Ms. McAndrews.

It will be updated as the rest of the forms come in.  As of 4/13 I had 17 responses. 

Here is the information for our Google Meet on 4/17 from 1- 1:30

All students are expected to attend. Please email me if you cannot make it.

Online Classroom Etiquette

• Try to join the meet from a quiet, appropriate, distraction-free environment.  
• 
  

• This is a school “classroom”.  The High School Code of Conduct is in effect during these meetings.  Please dress and sit appropriately and keep your phone off if possible. 

• Keep your audio on mute until you want to speak. We must work together to limit background noise.

• If you have a question and someone is speaking, use the comments box to type your question for the group. Remember that the comment box is public, and could be archived.

• Enable Video so that we can see you. You might need to disable video if you need to minimize the activity on your internet connection. If you do not feel comfortable sharing your image on Video, please turn it off.  It’s OK.

• Have a plan for taking notes (paper and pencil, digital notepad, Word/Pages doc) -- to capture your thoughts and questions in the moment.

• All Google Meets will be recorded so that they can be posted for students who were not able to attend.
