Kate Chopin is the perfect author to start AP Lit: she focuses on character development, she critiques gender, class, and racial inequalities, and she loves the same motifs throughout her writing. (Jeez -- that was sure a hint for your short story presentation.)
Reminder for all classes: If you are absent during participation, you will need to show me your notes for the assigned readings. You are expected to shows me these notes the day you return.
2: The ladies completed the first vocabulary quiz and then spent the remainder of the hour discussing chapters 1-5 (whole class) and chapters 6-10 (partners/groups). We ran out of time, alas, for the chapter 11 group to share, so that will wait until Thursday. To prep for our block day, read through Chapter 25. We will be doing individual sharing with this section -- so pay attention to the literary devices.
4: After our vocabulary quiz, we completed a full class discussion of chapters 1-5. (Great job focusing on class differences in this milieu.) Alas, time betrayed us and we did not finish our small group discussion of chapters 6-11. We will resume on chapter 8 on Thursday. In addition, read through chapter 22.
