One occupation to keep me busy while my students feverishly write essays and complete multiple choice passages is dealing with novels and textbooks. While passing out books is a great deal of fun, checking the returned inventory falls more under the work category. We have had four texts this year: the big green AP Lit textbook, Kate Chopin compilation, Grendel, and King Lear.
For the AP Lit textbook, if you are graduating early or, alas, not continuing the course next semester, you will need to return the textbook a.s.a.p. Second semester AP Lit students (wait until you see all the creative work you will be doing in January), you may bring the book back to keep on the shelf or leave it at home and peruse its many excellent selections of literature over holiday break.
In happy news, all of the Kate Chopin texts are back at home and all together on the shelf :)
In unhappy news, there are still 8 copies of Grendel running amok in the wilderness outside of my room. Return our beloved monster back to Room 404 a.s.a.p.
And for our King and his daughters, you may keep the text for essay purposes over the next couple of days. When you turn in your essay, I would like you to turn in your text as well -- you can place it in the same box as the essay. If you are graduating at semester, you must turn in this text prior to break.
That's all from now in Room 404. See you tomorrow for the multiple choice portion of the final and the Take 2 of the poetry exam.
