Hello, my beloved AP Lit students. My tone currently is incredulous if that helps you with reading the following blog. I don't know exactly what the plan is with schoolwork, assignments, practice exams, or anything really! I spent today trying to figure out how AP Lit would run the rest of the semester, and, fortunately for us, it involved reviewing free response essays, prose texts, poetry texts, tone, multiple choice, and practice exams. Guess what? You've done all of these types of analysis and writing already, so you should feel completely confident that when the work resumes and the AP Lit test comes around, that you will be just fine. I will be updating the blog and working with digital means if that proves to be the move of the district. In any circumstance, all your grades are updated for third quarter, and you have Frankenstein to finish reading if you have not done so already. I do love that book! I guess I will send you links to the movie clips we would have watched in class for your entertainment value.
I hope that all of you take this time out of school seriously and consider why we are not there: to help stop the spread of a virus that has caused great harm and fear across the world (why do I feel like I'm in really bad youth fiction apocalypse novel?). To take this two weeks flippantly or without consideration lacks the empathy for those that will have this virus or watch their loved ones have illness.
Wishing you the best, my dear Flavortown and Monsters, Inc. travelers :)
