AP Lit Land

Welcome to AP Lit Land! AP Lit Land could be considered a book club, albeit a book club that has terminology, close reads, multiple choice, and prompts. For today's class, we did not start any readings - unless you count the discipline review and the syllabus. Hence, the agenda was more on what we will be doing and how to prepare for the expectations of the class. At this point, you have the syllabus, the AP Lit terms for a toolbox (highly recommended by the way), and the 101 Texts that the College Board recommends for reading and what can be subject for your free response essay on the exam. While you will have plenty of formidable novels and plays over the course of the class, you have more recommendations here if you want something to read.

For tomorrow's class, we will be starting Unit 1's vocab experts, so make sure you have your definition, at least 2 synonyms, preferable not from the vocab book, and a memory trick to entertain and help your fellow classmates.

We will have our first class close read tomorrow, which will bring an opportunity to dissect 2 poems for all those structural, sound, and literary elements.

And, this is the blog I wrote prior to school starting last year, which gives you an idea and reminders about terminology, motifs, and random thoughts.
