The First Prompt!

It's starting to feel like an AP Lit class! We're analyzing mythological figures in contrasting poems, we're close reading to characterize a figure in prose, we're writing a literary analysis prompt. Wait - a prompt! It's strange that I have not had the pleasure of evaluating a prompt in over 3 months since my school life is centered around your ideas, words, syntax, and essays. Anywho, today was the diagnostic prompt for AP Lit, which I'm sure will have some fascinating commentary regarding "The Birthmark." How could it not? Hawthorne is a blast, a treat, a lover of the symbol!

The plan for our block day is to finish our characterization of Tom (make sure you close read/highlight the remaining text), try our hand at dual characterization in a passage (ooh), and, maybe, maybe, maybe, prep for our first novella, the ever-fascinating tale of Edna Pontellier, better known as The Awakening. I guess that means I need to wear my AP Lit 2018 shoes soon - you should be able to figure out why.

Thanks for being a part of our AP Lit book club!
