Galloping, Galloping, Galloping

Since we galloped at least 420 steps, AP Lit has moved into the cardio portion of Shakespearean meter study. And, here are the end results of our warm-ups with Jake & Brooke reading and our rhythmic gallop representing those iambs.

In both classes, you analyzed the octaves and sestets of sonnets 116 & 130, which was for participation points today. Then, you received a box prompt for sonnet 138, which has this prompt: In regards to Sonnet 138, how does Shakespeare use poetic elements to reflect the overall theme of the poem? That means absentees can complete the box prompt too. 

At the end of class, we discussed the MC portion of the exam, the types of questions offered, and different strategies to approaching a passage. We will start our MC practices tomorrow, so be ready to close read (always), identify question types, and utilize POE to find the correct answer.
