The test is over, but that doesn't mean we are done with AP Lit class! As seventh hour found out today, we still have our lit card competition, our class allusion quest, our final mysterious project, and our film version of Wuthering Heights! That shall keep us quite busy up until your last day of high school English class.
Meanwhile, the shoe vote has concluded and here are the top 5:
1: Balmain Joris
2: Charlotte Olympia Gingham Dolly
3: Prada Black/Orange Bootie
4: Sophia Webster Ivory Royalty
5: Tamara Mellon Largo
Due to the fact that only 2 of the top 5 shoes are actually available in my size and due to the fact that only one of them I will actually wear, the order will be for the Tamara Mellon Largo.

Titles
I'm a third of the way through the poetry prompts and I just have one question to bring up to you. When will all of you properly punctuate poem titles with quotation marks? Starting off with a distraction - that can be easily fixed - does not help your cause.
Practice Test 2 Complete
As Thursday comes to a close, all AP Lit classes will have completed the 4 parts of the second practice exam. If you have missed one or multiple parts of the exam, you will need to makes those up this week if you want to be part of the review class on Monday/Tuesday (depending on your hour).
Our next class will center around reviewing the prompts and the MC as final reminders and tips convey how to boost your score on the exam, which is Wednesday, May 8. We have spent all year working with poetry - moving beyond surface meaning and simple literary elements to underlying meanings, speaker's persona, and poetry-specific devices. We have delved into prose works varying from Creole sensibilities to Victorian ideologies to focus characterization, motifs, and milieu. We have read a plethora of novels and plays with a lens to historicism, psychoanalysis, gender, and class to bolster the free response portion. We have completed MC passages with an eye on close reading to improve the overall comprehension and score. With all the "we" anaphora, you should note that you have been preparing for this test all year long!
For those of you in need of those last reminders and practices, review sessions after school on Monday (short) and Tuesday (long), which will involve MC, all prompts, and the cards, if time permits.
And since we only have 6 days left until the exam, you should definitely vote on the AP Lit shoes for this year. Voting ends the morning of the test day. This meant to be something fun and frivolous, so do take part, even if you are a conduit for a former student :)
I am in the midst of evaluating the poetry prompts and I just wanted to remind you to make sure you know how to spell all the literary elements correctly and to use apostrophes correctly for possessives. There is a substantial difference between the speaker's and the speakers in meaning.
