One Day More

Yes, an allusion to Les Miserables in the subject line. "One Day More" happens to be my favorite song of the musical, a rousing expression of hope, fight, survival. In our circumstances, the glory centers on mastering multiple choice passages, a poetry prompt, a prose prompt, and a free response prompt. As Eponine donned masculine garb to fight with the man she loves, as Jean Valjean escapes to protect his beloved Cosette from finding out his criminal past, as my honey Enjolras gathers the forces for revolution and glory, as Javert outlines his tactful plot to overcome the enemies to law and order, we will gather our pens and pencils, our arms for this particular battle, and face the AP Lit challenge with the determination and spirit befitting our own written revolution.

See you tomorrow for our breakfast and celebratory toast to a year of poetry terms, antiheroes, psychosis, and class camaraderie. I recommend you bring pencils, erasers, and pens so that you have plenty of materials available during testing. Remember, you will be leaving your phones and unnecessary personal items in my room during the testing.

Tonight, look over your portfolios, literary toolbox terms, and free response prompts to prepare for the exam.

Three prompts left!
