Spoiler - this blog may contain an abundant use of exclamatory sentences!
Due to my constant need to teach each AP class differently, I have determined to have a different approach to free response essays this year! What does that mean?!? It means much more creativity and opportunities to practice free response writing! It means your book cards will help you complete free response pre-work and essays! It means I have a lot to copy and type up for you this evening!
As for class today, we continued to add to our vocabulary. In sad news, we have 3 vocab words left to go for the entire course! Don't cry, we will be working with tone words next month! Afterwards, you were given the book card assignment - 10 book cards due over the next 6 week period. The first book card, Frankenstein, is due on Wednesday. And, speaking of Wednesday, that is also the due date of your take home essay comparing and contrasting our Wollstonecraft and Shelley.
Lots, lots, lots to do...looking forward to reading your work in these last two and a half months prior to the test.
And, since it was requested, here is the link to one of the AP Lang essays...
