Sixth hour is in the midst of their final, and it almost feels too quiet in here: no one is bickering, galloping over one another, or dramatically recreating a Lear scene. With a 2 part final of prompt and poetry test, there was a lot to do for the final, and all of it revolved around what our second quarter was regarding: poetry. All of the poetry elements - sound, meter, and so forth - are all in your toolboxes now, so use them as you would on any future poetry assignments or prompts.
For those of you who love poetry, I have some bad news: we will be back to more prose-inspired work third quarter and characterization. For those of you who are ready for a short story, play, or novel, you are in luck with The Cherry Orchard and The Metamorphosis as are opening texts. Before we move onto those, however, you have your King Lear Diary/Journal due when we return. Have fun crafting your characters!
Happy Holidays to you all! Working with you, reading with you, analyzing minutia and creating euphemisms with you, make AP Lit an enjoyable experience. Your presence and ideas are the best gifts I could ever receive every single day. See you in 2020!
